Sabbatical Report

Professor Barba thanked the Board for their support of his sabbatical leave. His initial focus was to be on American literature and how its formation of canon affected the work of female and ethnic writers, specifically Chicano Literature. He decided not to focus solely on Chicano Literature due to the vast diversity of American Literature as a whole. The knowledge he gained will be of great advantage to his classes. He already sees the payoff to his students.

To the Board for Discussion and/or Action

accreditation team. Sue Chappell also acknowledged Lee Anne for her tremendous work. She thanked the Board for their support while the committee did the work to develop this document. She also thanked Marvin Smith for his openness and communication with the Budget Committee. Dr. Duran drew the Board’s attention to the calendar and the cyclical nature of the planning and timing. Trustee McCabe asked about the faculty representation on the Student Services Master Planning Committee. Dr. Newins addressed his question stating there are not many faculty members in the student services area, and that is why there are fewer faculty on this committee. MSCU (Braxton/Vierra) to approve the Master Planning Handbook and calendar. The Student Trustee advisory vote was aye.

Dr. Duran stated there are two individuals who have completed 35 years of service and one who has completed 30 years of service.

17. a. To the Board for Information

Dr. Duran said this policy addresses the orientation of new board members. Because accreditation standards require review, this policy is brought for review. He read the policy to the Board. He also said the Community College League of California (CCLC) provides a Trustee Handbook on topics related to being a member of the governing board each year. This handbook is sent to the college and any newly elected and appointed Trustees.

b. Review Board Self-Assessment Criteria and Tool

c.

Dr. Duran explained to the Board review of the Board’s self-assessment process and tool is required by the accreditation standards. He called their attention to the policy, administrative procedure and tool utilized in completing the Board’s self-assessment. He recommended the formation of a sub-committee of the Board to review the policy, tool, and CCLC resource guide to see if what is currently in place is adequate or a new procedure and tool needs to be developed. Our current policy and tool were garnered from the CCLC when we implemented them originally. Trustees Glidden and Braxton volunteered to be the sub-committee members. They will work with Dr. Duran and bring their findings back to the full Board at a later meeting. 2010-11 Budget Development Calendar

d.

Vice President Brewington explained to the Board one of the most significant responsibilities of a community college district is the preparation and presentation of the annual budget. The timeliness and requirements for publication and availability of the district’s budget are specifically outlined in the California Code of Regulations. The process of developing the budget is an ongoing function and must be addressed by the Board and administration throughout the school year. In order to effectively develop a fiscal document that reflects the goals and objectives of the district, the budget process must include a well defined budget calendar that outlines when each component of the budget is to be completed and the responsibility for completion. This calendar has been through the Budget Committee on campus and a sub-committee was developed to work with the Educational Master Planning Committee to insure their calendar and the budget calendar were integrated. Budget Update

Dr. Duran reminded the Board that these budget updates will be coming to the Board every month during these difficult times to keep them abreast of issues.

Vice President Brewington provided a budget update which included the following information:

• On November 18, 2009, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its annual report that contains a five year forecast of the state’s financial condition. The report states California faces a projected $20.7 billion budget shortfall over a two year period. This shortfall results primarily from increases in projected expenditures compared to the enacted State Budget.

• California faces a projected current year deficit of $6.3 billion. • California faces a $14.4 billion operating shortfall for 2010-11. • The LAO forecasts that, absent state action, operating shortfall will

increase in 2011-12 and persist into 2014-2015. There is a large increase in operating shortfalls beginning in 2011-12 due to the expiration of $12.5 billion in temporary tax increases adopted as part of the February budget deal.

• Merced College will face budget challenges in this year and beyond. These challenges include how we will use the ending balance to weather the storm, continued funding for categorical programs, and balancing the possibility of a third year with no new dollars (COLA & growth) while providing full access to programs and services for students.

Dr. Duran shared he has listened to Chancellor Jack Scott and the CEO of the Community College League of California, Scott Lay, talk about the direction for California Community Colleges in the next few years. They both seemed to be alluding to the fact that our mission would be changing and shared their views as follows. The current senior high school class is the largest in California in the history of California. Also, many veterans are coming back to further their education. Next year the UC and CSU systems are cutting enrollments by 50,000 and those students will be coming to us. Many parents will be upset if there are not seats available for those students. It is time to take this huge population of higher education students and find as many seats as we can for them. The question being asked in Sacramento is can we afford to provide physical education classes for seniors when we can’t provide for higher education students? Dr. Duran said all of the above would force community colleges to remove lifelong learning and community enrichment from their missions. Scott Lay asked Dr. Duran to chair a commission on the future of California Community Colleges, which he has accepted in order to be involved in our changing world instead of letting it happen to us. Dr. Duran will also be in contact with Assemblymember Galgiani regarding the master plan rewrite for higher education in California. Dr. Duran has met with Christine Grimaldi, Keith Law and ASMC to discuss a plan to get our legislators here on campus to talk to faculty, staff and students in order to get their input on the plan for higher education. There will be dialogue on campus regarding ways to save dollars and become more efficient on campus in light of preparing for more cuts. Vice President Brewington informed the Board the first of two campus-wide budget forums will take place Monday, December 7, 2009, and invited anyone to come and participate. Trustee Haden expressed his frustration with the legislature, the process taking place, and decisions being made regarding policy. He wants to be sure the Board is involved with these policy decisions, not just informed after the fact. Changes being discussed seem to be done so without taking into consideration the communities that support our campuses and that have passed our bond measures that allowed us to improve our campuses.

e. Student Trustee Dominguez-Cruz informed the Board the ASMC will be working next semester to implement a student representation fee as defined by the Student Fee Handbook and Education Code 16060.5. The fee must first be voted on and passed by 2/3 of the student voting population and approved by the Board of Trustees before it is implemented. If this fee is passed and approved, the implementation will be carefully planned and done as smoothly as possible.

Proposal for the Implementation of the Student Representation Fee

ASMC President, Spencer Bowen, stated this fee would be utilized to increase student representation at the state level. He said at other colleges this fee has allowed for a larger number of students to travel to Sacramento in order to attend rallies and have their voices be heard.

f. Vice President Cuchna and Cherie Davis presented information on the institutional review board which is being developed at Merced College. There are three main reasons to develop this review board and they are: compliance with federal regulations, formalization of our research processes, and having a formal process for requests from internal and external agencies that would like to conduct research at Merced College. They shared the composition of the board, what it will and will not be doing, the mission, and next steps. Discussion occurred.

Information & Questions

From Board Members

Trustee Troost thanked Trustee Braxton for his service as Board President, and thanked Trustee de Long for the treats. She wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Trustee Glidden wished everyone a Merry Christmas and hopes they enjoy the holidays. Student Trustee Dominguez-Cruz stated the students are being negatively affected due to budget cuts. In response, they are organizing themselves and making alliances with local universities and community colleges in order to make an impact at the state level. This Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in Lesher 111, the Students for Social Justice will hold a forum to inform students of the reasons for these changes on campus and tell them what they can do about them. Trustee McCabe congratulated Trustee Braxton on a job well done as Board President and Trustee de Long on her new role. He referenced an article

from The Orange County Register which quotes Meg Whitman, a California gubernatorial candidate, stating she has spoken to Chancellors and the 10% cut would make California Community Colleges stronger. He wrote a letter to her regarding her comments and shared some of the response he received from her. He also thanked Sue Chappell for the copy of the faculty newsletter. Trustee Vierra thanked Trustee Braxton for his year of service as Board President. He expressed his appreciation for the last guest speaker brought to the Los Banos campus and he hopes the program continues. He expressed his frustration at the instances of graffiti at the Los Banos campus. He would like to see the students recognize the campuses are here for them and by vandalizing the property they are doing themselves a disservice and we should have a zero tolerance on this issue. Trustee Braxton thanked the Board members for their support this last year. He apologized for not being able to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony at the Allied Health complex. A Merry Christmas was wished to everyone. Trustee de Long thanked Trustee Braxton for his leadership last year and asked for everyone’s help and support this next year. She wished everyone a Merry Christmas and better fiscal year next year.

b. Sue Chappell said that last month she attended the senate plenary session and learned quite a bit of information. She had coffee with Scott Lay and shared our community’s needs and demographics. The Senate passed a resolution supporting academic freedom on our campuses. She stated graduation requirements are local college decisions and should not be decided at the state level by the legislators. The master planning process went smoothly and it is very important to accreditation.

From Academic Senate

c. Keith Law informed the Board the list that was distributed to the Board for them to indicate a night during the week that might work for them to join faculty at dinner passed around at last month’s meeting did not make it back to him, so he passed around another list. He offered congratulations to Trustee de Long for becoming the new Board President. He said in hearing stories from other colleges, he is happy to have Dr. Duran as the President of Merced College. The issue of adjunct pay periods has been resolved and they will get paid ten times per year instead of eight. MCFA is looking forward to meeting with our legislators. He wished Happy Holidays to everyone.

MEETING OF THE BOARD

Distance Learning Proctoring Services

Presented by:

Anne Newins

For Information X

For Action

Background Information

The College’s Assessment Center has been experiencing an increasing number of non-Merced College students wishing to have their tests proctored in an approved setting. These typically are students taking on-line or other distance education classes from institutions such as the Western Governor’s University, UC-Berkeley, etc. When this occurred only rarely, it did not pose an inconvenience or expense. However, as the numbers have increased, the staff members now must spend time and money communicating with students and institutions and mailing test results. The cuts to student services make it necessary to find a way to cover these costs. Many colleges already have begun charging for proctoring tests to outside students. The average rate is about $30 per exam. We believe that this is a reasonable amount, but will review this charge next year to ensure that it is an appropriate charge.

Recommended Action

It is recommended that non-Merced College students be charged $30.00 per exam for test proctoring.

Background On March 3, 2009, the Board of Trustees authorized the Administration to proceed with the issuance of tax and revenue anticipation notes (TRAN) for 2009-10 fiscal year. The District has issued a TRAN in thirteen out of the last fourteen years. The purpose of the TRAN is to increase available cash balances, which provide operating moneys to cover cash shortfalls. In normal years cash shortfalls can arise from the timing differential of monthly cash receipts (mainly tax receipts) and cash disbursements throughout the year. Included in the State Budget solution for 2009-10, was the community college cash deferral totaling $703.0 million. The impact of the cash deferrals was discussed during the presentation of the adopted budget to the Board. The state will begin withholding cash beginning with the January state apportionment allocation and continue through June 30, 2010. The impact of the cash deferral for Merced College is estimated to be $7.3 million. It is important to note, the District must start re-paying the TRAN issued in July 2009 beginning with fifty percent due in January 2010 and the balance due in April 2010. Therefore, when the District will need the use of the TRAN dollars the most they will not be available. To address this problem, the Community College League of California has developed a mid-year TRAN program. This will provide community colleges the necessary cash to continue its business operations from March through June 30. For Merced College, the resolution being presented tonight will authorize the Administration the authority to issue up to $10 million in mid-year TRAN for cash

flow purposes. The attached resolution authorizes the issuance of TRANs by the Merced Community College District in the amount not to exceed $10,000,000. The 2009 TRAN will be dated February 1, 2010, and the maturity will not exceed 6 months. The advantages of participating in the Community College League’s TRAN program rather than an individual financing or another pooled TRANs, are many. The costs are lower because the other participating community college districts share the costs of issuance. There are standardized documentation and credit criteria employed in the financing, as well as a streamlined issuance process. Finally, there is the ability to obtain the highest credit rating on the financing based upon the program’s pool membership. The resolution authorizes various financing documentation, including a purchase agreement and an Indenture, which are on file in the Director of Business Services’ office. The resolution authorizes the Superintendent/President, the Vice President of Administrative Services, and Director of Business Services to sign financing documentation in connection with the issuance of the TRAN. The resolution also appoints the law firm of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth as bond counsel to the District. Stradling is a law firm, which specializes in municipal bond law.

Recommendation/Requested Action:

It is recommended that the Board of Trustees adopt the attached resolution. Attachments

NOW, THEREFORE, this Legislative Body hereby finds, determines, declares and resolves as follows:

Section 1. Recitals

Section 2.

. This Legislative Body hereby finds and determines that all the above recitals are true and correct.

Authorization of Issuance

The percentage of the Note as evidenced and represented by the Series of Note Participations to which a Credit Instrument, if any, applies (the “Secured Percentage”) shall be equal to the amount of the Credit Instrument divided by the aggregate amount of unpaid principal of and interest on notes (or portions thereof) of all Issuers of Notes comprising such

. This Legislative Body hereby determines to borrow solely for the purpose of anticipating taxes, income, revenue, cash receipts and other moneys to be received by the District for the general fund of the District in or accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year, by the issuance of one or more series of taxable or tax-exempt note or notes in the aggregate Principal Amount under Sections 53850 et seq. of the Act, designated the District’s “2009-2010 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note,” with an appropriate series designation if more than one note is issued (collectively, the “Note”) or the District shall have issued Prior Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes in fiscal year 2009-10, to be issued in the form of a fully registered note or notes in the Principal Amount thereof, to be dated the date of its delivery to the initial purchaser thereof, to mature (without option of prior redemption) not more than 13 months thereafter on a date indicated on the face thereof and determined in the Pricing Confirmation (the “Maturity Date”), and to bear interest, payable on its Maturity Date (and if the Maturity Date is more than 12 months from the date of issuance, payable on the interim interest payment date set forth in the Pricing Confirmation) and computed upon the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, or a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, at a rate or rates, if more than one Note is issued, not to exceed 12% per annum as determined in the Pricing Confirmation and indicated on the face of the Note (the “Note Rate”). If the Note as evidenced and represented by the Series of Note Participations is secured in whole or in part by a Credit Instrument or such Credit Instrument secures the Note in whole or in part and all principal of and interest on the Note is not paid in full at maturity or if payment of principal and/or interest on the Note is paid (in whole or in part) by a draw under, payment by or claim upon a Credit Instrument which draw or claim is not fully reimbursed on such date, such Note shall become a Defaulted Note (as defined in the Trust Agreement), and the unpaid portion thereof (including the interest component, if applicable, or the portion thereof with respect to which a Credit Instrument applies for which reimbursement on a draw, payment or claim has not been fully made) shall be deemed outstanding and shall continue to bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate (as defined in the Trust Agreement). If the Note as evidenced and represented by the Series of Note Participations is unsecured in whole or in part and the Note is not fully paid at maturity, the unpaid portion thereof (or the portion thereof to which no Credit Instrument applies which is unpaid) shall be deemed outstanding and shall continue to bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. In each case set forth in the preceding two sentences, the obligation of the District with respect to such Defaulted Note or unpaid Note shall not be a debt or liability of the District prohibited by Article XVI, Section 18 of the California Constitution and the District shall not be liable thereon except to the extent of any available revenues received in or accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year, as provided in Section 8 hereof.

Series of Note Participations, expressed as a percentage (but not greater than 100%) as of the maturity date. Both the principal of and interest on the Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America, but only upon surrender thereof, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in Los Angeles, California.

Anything in this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, the Pricing Confirmation may specify that a portion of the authorized Principal Amount of the Note shall be issued as a separate series of taxable Note the interest on which is includable in the gross income of the holder thereof for federal income tax purposes (a “Taxable Note”). In such event, the Taxable Note shall be issued with an appropriate series designation and other terms reflecting such taxability of interest income, including without limitation, a taxable Note Rate and a taxable Default Rate; the terms of the Note, and other terms as appropriate, shall be deemed to include or refer to such Taxable Note; and the agreements, covenants and provisions set forth in this Resolution to be performed by or on behalf of the District shall be for the equal and proportionate benefit, security and protection of the holder of any Note without preference, priority or distinction as to security or otherwise of any Note over any other Note.

The Authorized Representatives, each alone, are hereby authorized and directed to comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Trust Agreement with respect to continuing disclosure; provided however, that failure of the District to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Agreement, as defined in Article 11 of the Trust Agreement, shall not be considered an Event of Default hereunder. Any Credit Agreement identified in the Pricing Confirmation but not at this time before the Legislative Body shall include reasonable and customary terms and provisions relating to fees, increased costs of the Credit Provider payable by the District, negative and affirmation covenants of the District and events of default.

. The Note shall be combined with notes of other Issuers into a Series and shall be sold simultaneously with such other notes of that Series supported by the Credit Instrument (if any) referred to in the Pricing Confirmation, and shall be evidenced and represented by the Note Participations which shall evidence and represent proportionate, undivided interests in the Note in the proportion that the face amount of the Note bears to the total aggregate face amount of the Note and the notes issued by other Issuers which the Series of Note Participations represent. Such Note Participations may be delivered in book-entry form.

To the extent necessary, the Legislative Body hereby approves the preparation of a preliminary official statement (the “Preliminary Official Statement”) and a final official statement (the “Final Official Statement”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Note Participations. The Underwriter is hereby authorized and directed to cause to be mailed to prospective bidders the Preliminary Official Statement in connection with the offering and sale of the Note Participations.

the Preliminary Official Statement relating to the other Issuers or any Credit Provider. If, at any time prior to the end of the underwriting period, as defined in the Rule, any event occurs as a result of which the information contained in the Preliminary Official Statement relating to the District might include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the District shall promptly notify the Underwriter. The Authority is hereby authorized and directed, at or after the time of the sale of any Series of Note Participations, for and in the name and on behalf of the District, to execute a Final Official Statement in substantially the form of the Preliminary Official Statement, with such additions thereto or changes therein as the Authority may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof.

The Trustee is authorized and directed to execute Note Participations on behalf of the District pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Trust Agreement, in the aggregate principal amount specified in the Trust Agreement, and substantially in the form and otherwise containing the provisions set forth in the form of the Note Participations contained in the Trust Agreement. When so executed, the Note Participations shall be delivered by the Trustee to the purchaser upon payment of the purchase price thereof, pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement.

Subject to Section 8 hereof, the District hereby agrees that if the Note as evidenced and represented by the Series of Note Participations shall become a Defaulted Note, the unpaid portion (including the interest component, if applicable) thereof or the portion (including the interest component, if applicable) to which a Credit Instrument applies for which full reimbursement on a draw, payment or claim has not been made by the Maturity Date shall be deemed outstanding and shall not be deemed to be paid until (i) any Credit Provider providing a Credit Instrument with respect to the Series of Note Participations, and therefore, if applicable, all or a portion of the District’s Note, if any, has been reimbursed for any drawings, payments or claims made under or from the Credit Instrument with respect to the Note, including interest accrued thereon, as provided therein and in the applicable Credit Agreement, and, (ii) the holders of the Series of the Note Participations which evidence and represent the Note are paid the full principal amount represented by the unsecured portion of the Note plus interest accrued thereon (calculated at the Default Rate) to the date of deposit of such aggregate required amount with the Trustee. For purposes of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, holders of the Series of Note Participations will be deemed to have received such principal amount upon deposit of such moneys with the Trustee.

The District agrees to pay or cause to be paid, in addition to the amounts payable under the Note, any fees or expenses of the Trustee and, to the extent permitted by law, if the District’s Note as evidenced and represented by the Series of Note Participations is secured in whole or in part by a Credit Instrument, any Predefault Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations (to the extent not payable under the Note), (i) arising out of an “Event of Default” hereunder (or pursuant to Section 7 hereof) or (ii) arising out of any other event (other than an event arising solely as a result of or otherwise attributable to a default by any other Issuer). In the case described in (ii) above with respect to Predefault Obligations, the District shall owe only the percentage of such fees, expenses and Predefault Obligations equal to the ratio of the principal amount of its Note over the aggregate principal amounts of all notes, including the

Note, of the Series of which the Note is a part, at the time of original issuance of such Series. Such additional amounts will be paid by the District within twenty-five (25) days of receipt by the District of a bill therefor from the Trustee.

Section 6. No Joint Obligation; Owners’ Rights

Owners of Note Participations, to the extent of their interest in the Note, shall be treated as owners of the Note and shall be entitled to all the rights and security thereof; including the right to enforce the obligations and covenants contained in this Resolution and the Note. The District hereby recognizes the right of the Owners acting directly or through the Trustee to enforce the obligations and covenants contained in the Note, this Resolution and the Trust Agreement. The District shall be directly obligated to each Owner for the principal and interest payments on the Note evidenced and represented by the Note Participations without any right of counterclaim or offset arising out of any act or failure to act on the part of the Trustee.

. The Note shall be marketed and sold simultaneously with the notes of other Issuers and shall be aggregated and combined with notes of other Issuers participating in the Program into a Series of taxable or tax-exempt Note Participations evidencing and representing an interest in several, and not joint, obligations of each Issuer. Except as provided in Section 7(C) herein, the obligation of the District to Owners is a several and not a joint obligation and is strictly limited to the District’s repayment obligation under this Resolution and the Note, as evidenced and represented by such Series of Note Participations.

Section 7. Disposition of Proceeds of Note

(A) The moneys received from the sale of the Note allocable to the District’s share of the costs of issuance (which shall include any issuance fees in connection with a Credit Instrument applicable to the Note, if any) shall be deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund held and invested by the Trustee under the Trust Agreement and expended on costs of issuance as provided in the Trust Agreement.

.

(B) The moneys received from the sale of the Note (net of the District’s share of the costs of issuance) shall be deposited in the District’s Proceeds Subaccount within the Proceeds Fund hereby authorized to be created pursuant to, and held and invested by the Trustee under, the Trust Agreement for the District and said moneys may be used and expended by the District for any purpose for which it is authorized to expend funds upon requisition from the Proceeds Subaccount as specified in the Trust Agreement. Amounts in the Proceeds Subaccount are hereby pledged to the payment of the Note.

The Trustee will not create subaccounts within the Proceeds Fund, but will keep records to account separately for proceeds of the Note Participations allocable to the District’s Note on deposit in the Proceeds Fund which shall constitute the District’s Proceeds Subaccount.

(C) The District hereby authorizes a portion of the premium or proceeds received from the sale of the Note (net of the District’s share of the costs of issuance) to be deposited, together with moneys received from the sale of Notes of other Issuers, into a reserve fund (the “Reserve Fund”), which is hereby authorized to be created pursuant to, and held and

invested by the Trustee under, the Trust Agreement for the benefit of Owners of the Note Participations.

Section 8. Source of Payment

In order to effect the pledge referenced in the preceding paragraph, the District hereby agrees and covenants to establish and maintain a special account within the District’s general fund to be designated the “2009__ Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note Payment Account,” with appropriate series designation (the “Payment Account”), and further agrees and covenants to maintain the Payment Account until the payment of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the District elects to have Note proceeds invested in Permitted Investments to be held by the Trustee pursuant to the Pricing Confirmation, a subaccount of the Payment Account (the “Payment Subaccount”) shall be established for the District under the Trust Agreement and proceeds credited to such account shall be pledged to the payment of the Note. The Trustee need not create a subaccount, but may keep a record to account separately for proceeds of the Note so held and invested by the Trustee which record shall constitute the District’s Proceeds Subaccount. Transfers from the Payment Subaccount shall be made in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The District agrees to transfer to and deposit in the Payment Account the first amounts received in the months specified in the Pricing Confirmation as Repayment Months (each individual month a “Repayment Month” and collectively “Repayment Months”) (and any amounts received thereafter received in or accrued

. The principal amount of the Note, together with the interest thereon, shall be payable from taxes, income, revenue (including, but not limited to, revenue from the state and federal governments), cash receipts and other moneys which are received or held by the District for the general fund of the District and are accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year and which are available for payment thereof. Included in the revenues of the Repayment Fiscal Year are apportionments which otherwise would be received in January 2010 through June 2010 but due to the deferral of the State monies by the State will not be received until after June 30, 2010 (“Deferred Revenues”). The Deferred Revenues shall be accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year and are determined to be legally available to pay the principal of and interest on the Note. As security for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note, the District hereby pledges certain Unrestricted Revenues (as hereinafter provided, the “Pledged Revenues”) which are received or held by the District for the general fund of the District and are accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year. The principal of the Note and the interest thereon shall constitute a first lien and charge thereon and shall be payable from the first moneys received by the District from such Pledged Revenues, and, to the extent not so paid, shall be paid from any other taxes, income, revenue, cash receipts and other moneys of the District lawfully available therefor (all as provided for in Sections 53856 and 53857 of the Act). To the extent that the Pledged Revenues have been previously pledged as security for the payment of principal of and interest on any Prior Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (a “Prior Pledge”), the pledge created herein shall be subordinate to such Prior Pledge. The term “Unrestricted Revenues” shall mean all taxes, income, revenue (including, but not limited to, revenue from the state and federal governments), cash receipts, and other moneys, intended as receipts for the general fund of the District received in or accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year and which are generally available for the payment of current expenses and other obligations of the District. The Noteholders, Owners and Credit Provider shall have a first lien and charge on such Unrestricted Revenues as herein provided which are received or held by the District and are accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year.

to the Repayment Fiscal Year) until the amount on deposit in the Payment Account, together with the amount, if any, on deposit in the Payment Subaccount, and taking into consideration anticipated investment earnings thereon to be received by the Maturity Date, is equal in the respective Repayment Months identified in the Pricing Confirmation to the percentage of the principal and interest due on the Note specified in the Pricing Confirmation. In making such transfer and deposit, the District shall not be required to physically segregate the amounts to be transferred to and deposited in the Payment Account from the District’s other general fund moneys, but, notwithstanding any commingling of funds for investment or other purposes, the amounts required to be transferred to and deposited in the Payment Account shall nevertheless be subject to the lien and charge created herein.

Any one of the Authorized Representatives of the District is hereby authorized to approve the determination of the Repayment Months and percentages of the principal and interest due on the Note required to be on deposit in the Payment Account and/or the Payment Subaccount in each Repayment Month, all as specified in the Pricing Confirmation, by executing and delivering the Pricing Confirmation, such execution and delivery to be conclusive evidence of approval by this Legislative Body and such Authorized Representative; provided, however, that the maximum number of Repayment Months shall be six and the maximum amount of Pledged Revenues required to be deposited in each Repayment Month shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate principal and interest due on the Note. In the event on the day in each such Repayment Month that a deposit to the Payment Account is required to be made, the District has not received sufficient unrestricted revenues to permit the deposit into the Payment Account of the full amount of Pledged Revenues to be deposited in the Payment Account from said unrestricted revenues in said month, then the amount of any deficiency shall be satisfied and made up from any other moneys of the District lawfully available for the payment of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon, as and when such other moneys are received or are otherwise legally available.

Any moneys placed in the Payment Account or the Payment Subaccount shall be for the benefit of (i) the holder of the Note and the owner of the Note and (ii) (to the extent provided in the Trust Agreement) the Credit Provider, if any. The moneys in the Payment Account and the Payment Subaccount shall be applied only for the purposes for which such accounts are created until the principal of the Note and all interest thereon are paid or until provision has been made for the payment of the principal of the Note at maturity with interest to maturity (in accordance with the requirements for defeasance of the Note Participations as set forth in the Trust Agreement) and, if applicable, (to the extent provided in the Trust Agreement and, if applicable, the Credit Agreement) the payment of all Predefault Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations owing to the Credit Provider.

The District hereby directs the Trustee to transfer on the Note Payment Deposit Date (as defined in the Trust Agreement), any moneys in the Payment Subaccount to the Note Participation Payment Fund (as defined in the Trust Agreement). In addition, on the Note Payment Deposit Date, the moneys in the Payment Account shall be transferred by the District to the Trustee, to the extent necessary (after crediting any transfer pursuant to the preceding sentence), to pay the principal of and/or interest on the Note, to make payments to a Swap Provider, if any, as defined in the Trust Agreement, pursuant to a Swap Agreement, if any, as defined in the Trust Agreement, or to reimburse the Credit Provider for payments made under or

pursuant to the Credit Instrument. In the event that moneys in the Payment Account and/or the Payment Subaccount are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Note in full when due, such moneys shall be applied in the following priority: first to pay interest on the Note; second to pay principal of the Note; third to reimburse the Credit Provider for payment, if any, of interest with respect to the Note; fourth to reimburse the Credit Provider for payment, if any, of principal with respect to the Note; and fifth to pay any Reimbursement Obligations of the District and any of the District’s pro rata share of Predefault Obligations owing to the Credit Provider. Any moneys remaining in or accruing to the Payment Account and/or the Payment Subaccount after the principal of the Note and the interest thereon and any Predefault Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations, if applicable, have been paid, or provision for such payment has been made, shall be transferred to the general fund of the District, subject to any other disposition required by the Trust Agreement, or, if applicable, the Credit Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve the District from its obligation to pay its Note in full on the Maturity Date.

Moneys in the Proceeds Subaccount and in the Payment Subaccount shall be invested by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement as directed by the District in Permitted Investments as described in and under the terms of the Trust Agreement. Any such investment by the Trustee shall be for the account and risk of the District and the District shall not be deemed to be relieved of any of its obligations with respect to the Note, the Predefault Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations, if any, by reason of such investment of the moneys in its Proceeds Subaccount or the Payment Subaccount.

The District shall promptly file with the Trustee and the Credit Provider, if any, such financial reports at the times and in the forms required by the Trust Agreement. At the written request of the Credit Provider, if any, the District shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of such written request, file such report or reports to evidence the transfer to and deposit in the Payment Account required by this Section 8 and provide such additional financial information as may be required by the Credit Provider, if any.

In the event either (A) the Principal Amount of the Note, together with the aggregate amount of all tax-exempt obligations (including any tax-exempt leases, but excluding private activity bonds), issued and reasonably expected to be issued by the District (and all subordinate entities of the District) during the calendar year in which the Note is issued, will, at the time of issuance of the Note (as indicated in the certificate of the District executed as of the date of issuance of the Note (the “District Certificate”), exceed fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000), or (B) the Principal Amount of the Note, together with the aggregate amount of all tax-exempt obligations not used to finance school construction (including any tax-exempt leases, but excluding private activity bonds), issued and reasonably expected to be issued by the District (and all subordinate entities of the District) during the calendar year in which the Note is issued, will, at the time of issuance of the Note (as indicated in the District Certificate), exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000), the following paragraph will apply. In such case, the District shall be deemed a “Safe Harbor Issuer” with respect to the Note.

Amounts in the Proceeds Subaccount of the District and attributable to cash flow borrowing shall be withdrawn and expended by the District for any purpose for which the District is authorized to expend funds from the general fund of the District, but, with respect to

Page 61

Page 62: SABBATICAL REPORT - Merced College · Sabbatical Report Professor Barba thanked the Board for their support of his sabbatical leave. ... released its annual report that contains a

general fund expenditures, only to the extent that on the date of any withdrawal no other funds are available for such purposes without legislation or judicial action or without a legislative, judicial or contractual requirement that such funds be reimbursed. If on no date that is within six months from the date of issuance of the Note, the balance in the related Proceeds Subaccount is low enough so that the amounts in the Proceeds Subaccount qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement (the “Rebate Requirements”) of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), the District shall notify the Trustee in writing and, to the extent of its power and authority, comply with instructions from Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, Special Counsel, supplied to it by the Trustee as the means of satisfying the Rebate Requirements.

Section 9. Execution of Note; Registration and Transfer

As long as the Note remains outstanding, the District shall maintain and keep at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, books for the registration and transfer of the Note. The Note shall initially be registered in the name of the Trustee as trustee under the Trust Agreement. Upon surrender of the Note for transfer at the office of the Trustee with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the registered owner or its duly authorized attorney, and upon payment of any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer, the County or the District, as applicable, shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, a fully registered Note. For every transfer of the Note, the County, the District or the Trustee may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person making such transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such transfer.

. Any one of the Treasurer of the County or comparable officer, or, in the absence of said officer, his or her duly appointed assistant, the Chairperson of the Board of Supervisors of the County or the Auditor (or comparable financial officer) of the County shall be authorized to execute the Note issued hereunder by manual or facsimile signature and the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of the County or any Deputy Clerk shall be authorized to countersign the Note by manual or facsimile signature and to affix the seal of the County to the Note either manually or by facsimile impression thereof. In the event the Board of Supervisors of the County fails or refuses to authorize issuance of the Note as referenced in Section 2 hereof, any one of the Authorized Representatives of the District or any other officer designated by the Legislative Body shall be authorized to execute the Note by manual or facsimile signature and the Secretary or Clerk of the Legislative Body of the District or any duly appointed assistant thereto shall be authorized to countersign the Note by manual or facsimile signature. Said officers of the District are hereby authorized to cause the blank spaces of the Note to be filled in as may be appropriate pursuant to the Pricing Confirmation. Said officers are hereby authorized and directed to cause the Trustee, as registrar and authenticating agent, to accept delivery of the Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and Trust Agreement. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any Note shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Note, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. The Note need not bear the seal of the District, if any.

Subject to Section 6 hereof, the County, the District and the Trustee and their respective successors may deem and treat the person in whose name the Note is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and the County, the District and the Trustee and their

Page 62

Page 63: SABBATICAL REPORT - Merced College · Sabbatical Report Professor Barba thanked the Board for their support of his sabbatical leave. ... released its annual report that contains a

respective successors shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, and payment of or on account of the principal of such Note shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

The Note may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred upon the books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of the Note for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer duly executed in form approved by the Trustee.

The Trustee will keep or cause to be kept, at its principal corporate trust office, sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Note, which shall be open to inspection by the County and the District during regular business hours. Upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on such books, the Note as hereinbefore provided.

If any Note shall become mutilated, the County or the District, as applicable, at the expense of the registered owner of such Note, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver a new Note of like tenor and number in exchange and substitution for the Note so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Note so mutilated. Every mutilated Note so surrendered to the Trustee shall be cancelled by it and delivered to, or upon the order of the County or the District, as applicable. If any Note shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the County, the District and the Trustee and, if such evidence be satisfactory to them and indemnity satisfactory to them shall be given, the County or the District, as applicable, at the expense of the registered owner, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver a new Note of like tenor and number in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Note shall have matured (as of the latest maturity date indicated on the face thereof) or shall be about to mature (as of the latest maturity date indicated on the face thereof), instead of issuing a substitute Note, the Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof). The Trustee may require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Note issued pursuant to this paragraph and of the expenses which may be incurred by the County or the District applicable, and the Trustee in such preparation. Any Note issued under these provisions in lieu of any Note alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on the part of the County (on behalf of the District) or on the part of the District, as applicable, whether or not the Note so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Resolution with all other Notes secured by this Resolution.

Section 10. Representations and Covenants of the District

The District makes the following representations for the benefit of the holder of the note, the owners of the Note Participations and the Credit Provider, if any.

.

(A) The District is duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of California and has all necessary power and authority to (i) adopt this Resolution

and perform its obligations thereunder, (ii) enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) issue the Note and perform its obligations thereunder.

(B) Upon the issuance of the Note, the District shall have taken all action required to be taken by it to authorize the issuance and delivery of the Note and the performance of its obligations thereunder, and the District has full legal right, power and authority to issue and deliver the Note.

(C) The issuance of the Note, the adoption of the Resolution and the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, Trust Agreement and Credit Agreement, if any, and compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof will not conflict with or violate any law, administrative regulation, court decree, resolution, charter, by-laws or other agreement to which the District is subject or by which it is bound.

(D) Except as may be required under blue sky or other securities laws of any state or Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, there is no consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or filing with, or certification by, any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the District required for the issuance and sale of the Note or the consummation by the District of the other transactions contemplated by this Resolution, except those the District shall obtain or perform prior to or upon the issuance of the Note.

(E) The District has (or will have prior to the issuance of the Note) duly, regularly and properly adopted a preliminary budget for the Repayment Fiscal Year setting forth expected revenues and expenditures and has complied with all statutory and regulatory requirements with respect to the adoption of such budget. The District hereby covenants that it shall (i) duly, regularly and properly prepare and adopt its final budget for the Repayment Fiscal Year, (ii) provide to the Trustee, the Credit Provider, if any, the Underwriter, promptly upon adoption, copies of such final budget and of any subsequent revisions, modifications or amendments thereto and (iii) comply with all applicable laws pertaining to its budget.

(F) The sum of the principal amount of the District’s Note plus the interest payable thereon, together with the principal amount of any Prior Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes plus the interest thereon if the District Note is subordinate to any Prior Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes, on the date of issuance of the District Note, will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the estimated amounts of the District’s uncollected taxes, income, revenue (including, but not limited to, revenue from the state and federal governments), cash receipts, and other moneys to be received by the District for the general fund of the District received in or accrued to the Repayment Fiscal Year all of which will be legally available to pay principal of and interest on the Note.

(G) The District (i) has not defaulted within the past twenty (20) years, and is not currently in default, on any debt obligation and (ii), to the best knowledge of the District, has never defaulted on any debt obligation.

(H) The District’s most recent audited financial statements present fairly the financial condition of the District as of the date thereof and the results of operation for the period covered thereby. Except as has been disclosed to the Underwriter and the Credit Provider, if

Page 64

Page 65: SABBATICAL REPORT - Merced College · Sabbatical Report Professor Barba thanked the Board for their support of his sabbatical leave. ... released its annual report that contains a

any, there has been no change in the financial condition of the District since the date of such audited financial statements that will in the reasonable opinion of the District materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this Resolution and the Note. The District agrees to furnish to the Underwriter, the Authority, the Trustee and the Credit Provider, if any, promptly, from time to time, such information regarding the operations, financial condition and property of the District as such party may reasonably request.

(I) There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or other board, body or official, pending or, to the best knowledge of the District, threatened against or affecting the District questioning the validity of any proceeding taken or to be taken by the District in connection with the Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Credit Agreement, if any, or this Resolution, or seeking to prohibit, restrain or enjoin the execution, delivery or performance by the District of any of the foregoing, or wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a materially adverse effect on the District’s financial condition or results of operations or on the ability of the District to conduct its activities as presently conducted or as proposed or contemplated to be conducted, or would materially adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the District to perform its obligations under, the Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Credit Agreement, if any, or this Resolution.

(J) Upon issuance of the Note and execution of the Purchase Contract, this Resolution, the Purchase Contract and the Note will constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the District, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, the application of equitable principles if equitable remedies are sought, the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and the limitations on legal remedies against local agencies, as applicable, in the State of California.

(K) The District and its appropriate officials have duly taken, or will take, all proceedings necessary to be taken by them, if any, for the levy, receipt, collection and enforcement of the Pledged Revenues in accordance with law for carrying out the provisions of this Resolution and the Note.

(L) The District shall not incur any indebtedness secured by a pledge of its Pledged Revenues unless such pledge is subordinate in all respects to the pledge of Pledged Revenues hereunder.

(M) So long as the Credit Provider, if any, is not in payment default under the Credit Instrument, the District hereby agrees to pay its pro rata share of all Predefault Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations attributable to the District in accordance with provisions of the Credit Agreement, if any, and/or the Trust Agreement, as applicable. Prior to the Maturity Date, moneys in the District’s Payment Account and/or Payment Subaccount shall not be used to make such payments. The District shall pay such amounts promptly upon receipt of notice from the Credit Provider that such amounts are due to it.

(N) So long as any Note Participations issued in connection with the Notes are Outstanding, or any Predefault Obligation or Reimbursement Obligation is outstanding, the

District will not create or suffer to be created any pledge of or lien on the Note other than the pledge and lien of the Trust Agreement.

(O) It is hereby covenanted and warranted by the District that it will not request the County Treasurer to make temporary transfers of funds in the custody of the County Treasurer to meet any obligations of the District during Fiscal Year 2009-2010 pursuant to Article XVI, Section 6 of the Constitution of the State of California.

Section 11. Tax Covenants

(B) In the event the District is deemed a Safe Harbor Issuer (as defined in Section 7), this paragraph (B) shall apply. The District covenants that it shall make all calculations in a reasonable and prudent fashion relating to any rebate of excess investment earnings on the proceeds of the Note due to the United States Treasury, shall segregate and set aside from lawfully available sources the amount such calculations may indicate may be required to be paid to the United States Treasury, and shall otherwise at all times do and perform all acts and things necessary and within its power and authority, including complying with the instructions of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, Special Counsel referred to in Section 8 hereof to assure compliance with the Rebate Requirements. If the balance of the Proceeds Subaccount attributed to cash flow borrowing and treated for federal tax purposes as proceeds of the Note is not low enough to qualify amounts in the Proceeds Subaccount attributed to cash flow borrowing for an exception to the Rebate Requirements on at least one date within the six month period following the date of issuance of the Note (calculated in accordance with Section 8), the District will reasonably and prudently calculate the amount, if any, of investment profits which must be rebated to the United States and will immediately set aside, from revenues received in or accrued to the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 or, to the extent not available from such revenues, from any other moneys lawfully available, the amount of any such rebate in the Rebate Fund referred to in this Section 11(B). In addition, in such event, the District shall establish and maintain with the Trustee a fund separate from any other fund established and maintained hereunder and under the Trust Agreement designated as the “2009-2010 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note Rebate Fund” or such other name as the Trust Agreement may designate. There shall be deposited in such Rebate Fund such amounts as are required to be deposited therein in accordance with the written instructions from Bond Counsel pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

. (A) The District will not take any action or fail to take any action if such action or failure to take such action would adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of the interest payable on the Note under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the District will not make any use of the proceeds of the Note or any other funds of the District which would cause the Note to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, a “private activity bond” within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code, or an obligation the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation because it is “federally guaranteed” as provided in Section 149(b) of the Code. The District, with respect to the proceeds of the Note, will comply with all requirements of such sections of the Code and all regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury issued or applicable thereunder to the extent that such requirements are, at the time, applicable and in effect.

(C) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, upon the District’s failure to observe, or refusal to comply with, the covenants contained in this

Page 66

Page 67: SABBATICAL REPORT - Merced College · Sabbatical Report Professor Barba thanked the Board for their support of his sabbatical leave. ... released its annual report that contains a

Section 11, no one other than the holders or former holders of the Note or Note Participation Owners, the Credit Provider(s), if any, or the Trustee on their behalf shall be entitled to exercise any right or remedy under this Resolution on the basis of the District’s failure to observe, or refusal to comply with, such covenants.

(D) The covenants contained in this Section 11 shall survive the payment of the Note.

(E) The provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply to a Taxable Note.

Section 12. Events of Default and Remedies

If any of the following events occur, it is hereby defined as and declared to be and to constitute an “Event of Default”:

.

(a) Failure by the District to make or cause to be made the transfers and deposits to the Payment Account, or any other payment required to be paid hereunder, including payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or before the date on which such transfer, deposit or other payment is due and payable;

(b) Failure by the District to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under this Resolution, for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, is given to the District by the Trustee or the Credit Provider, if applicable, unless the Trustee and the Credit Provider shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration;

(c) Any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf of the District contained in this Resolution or the Purchase Agreement (including the Pricing Confirmation) or in any requisition or any financial report delivered by the District or in any instrument furnished in compliance with or in reference to this Resolution or the Purchase Agreement or in connection with the Note, is false or misleading in any material respect;

(d) A petition is filed against the District under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect and is not dismissed within 30 days after such filing, but the Trustee shall have the right to intervene in the proceedings prior to the expiration of such 30 days to protect its and the Owners’ interests;

(e) The District files a petition in voluntary bankruptcy or seeking relief under any provision of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the filing of any petition against it under such law; or

(f) The District admits insolvency or bankruptcy or is generally not paying its debts as such debts become due, or becomes insolvent or bankrupt or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a custodian (including without limitation a receiver, liquidator or trustee) of the District or any of its property is appointed by court order or takes possession thereof and such order remains in effect or such possession continues for more than 30 days, but the Trustee shall have the right to intervene in the proceedings prior to the expiration of such 30 days to protect its and the Owners’ interests;

Whenever any Event of Default referred to in this Section 12 shall have happened and be continuing, the Trustee shall, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law or under the Trust Agreement, have the right, at its option without any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:

(a) Without declaring the Note to be immediately due and payable, require the District to pay to the Trustee, as holder of the Note, an amount equal to the principal of the Note and interest thereon to maturity, plus all other amounts due hereunder, and upon notice to the District the same shall become immediately due and payable by the District without further notice or demand; and

(b) Take whatever other action at law or in equity (except for acceleration of payment on the Note) which may appear necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce any other of its rights hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the District’s Note is secured in whole or in part by a Credit Instrument or if the Credit Provider is subrogated to rights under the District’s Note, as long as the Credit Provider has not failed to comply with its payment obligations under the Credit Instrument, the Credit Provider shall have the right to direct the remedies upon any Event of Default hereunder, and the Credit Provider’s prior consent shall be required to any remedial action proposed to be taken by the Trustee hereunder.

If the District has executed a Credit Instrument and if the Credit Provider is not reimbursed for any drawing, payment or claim, as applicable, used to pay principal of and interest on the Note due to a default in payment on the Note by the District, or if any principal of or interest on the Note remains unpaid after the Maturity Date, the Note shall be a Defaulted Note, the unpaid portion (including the interest component, if applicable) thereof or the portion (including the interest component, if applicable) to which a Credit Instrument applies for which reimbursement on a draw, payment or claim has not been made shall be deemed outstanding and shall bear interest at the Default Rate, as defined in the Trust Agreement, until the District’s obligation on the Defaulted Note is paid in full or payment is duly provided for, all subject to Section 8 hereof.

Section 13. Trustee. The Trustee is hereby appointed as paying agent, registrar and authenticating agent for the Note. The District hereby directs and authorizes the payment by the Trustee of the interest on and principal of the Note when such become due and payable, from the Payment Account held by the Trustee in the name of the District in the manner set forth

Payment of the Note shall be in accordance with the terms of the Note and this Resolution.

The District hereby agrees to maintain as paying agent, registrar and authenticating agent of the Note, the Trustee under the Trust Agreement.

Section 14. Approval of Actions

. The provisions of the Note and of this Resolution shall constitute a contract between the District and the registered owner of the Note and the Credit Provider, if any, and such provisions shall be enforceable by mandamus or any other appropriate suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction, and shall be irrepealably. The Credit Provider, if any, is a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Resolution and the Note.

Limited Liability

Section 19. Request to Borrow; Transmittal of Resolution

Section 20.

. The Note shall be issued in conjunction with the note or notes of one or more other community college districts, as described in Section 53853(b) of the Act. Following its adoption by the Legislative Body, signed copies of this resolution shall be transmitted by the secretary or clerk of the Legislative Body to the treasurer of the county (the “County”) in which the District is located, to the County’s board of supervisors (the “County Board”), and to the County’s superintendent of schools. Transmittal of this resolution to the County Board shall constitute a request by the Legislative Body for borrowing and for the issuance of the Note by the County Board.

If within such 45-day period the County Board authorizes, by resolution, issuance of the Note, then, notwithstanding this resolution, the Notes shall be issued in the name of the District by the County Board pursuant to such resolution of the County Board.

(B) The District covenants, for the sole benefit of the Owners of the Series of Note Participations which evidence and represent the Note (and, to the extent specified in this Section 22, the beneficial owners thereof), that the District shall provide in a timely manner, through the Trustee acting as dissemination agent (the “Dissemination Agent”) to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board notice of any of the following events with respect to the District’s outstanding Note, if material (each a “Listed Event”): (1) principal and interest payment delinquencies on the Note and the related Series of Note Participations; (2) non-payment related defaults; (3) modifications to rights of Owners and beneficial owners of the Series of Note Participations which evidence and represent the Note; (4) optional, contingent or unscheduled bond calls; (5) defeasances; (6) rating changes; (7) adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax-exempt status of the Note and the related Series of Note Participations; (8) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financing difficulties; (9) unscheduled draws on the credit enhancement reflecting financial difficulties; (10) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform; and (11) release, substitution or sale of property securing repayment of the Note.

(E) The District’s obligations under this section shall terminate upon the legal defeasance, prior redemption or payment in full of its Note. If such termination occurs prior to the final maturity of the related Note Participations, the District shall give notice of such termination in the same manner as for a Listed Event under subsection (B) of this section.

(F) The Dissemination Agent shall not be responsible in any manner for the content of any notice or report prepared by the District pursuant to this section. In no event shall the Dissemination Agent be responsible for preparing any notice or report or for filing any notice or report which it has not received in a timely manner and in a format suitable for reporting. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent the District from disseminating any other information, using the means of dissemination set forth in this section or any other means of communication, or including any other notice of occurrence of a Listed Event, in addition to that which is required by this section. If the District chooses to include any information in any notice of occurrence of a Listed Event in addition to that which is specifically required by this section, the District shall have no obligation under this section to update such information or include it in any future notice of occurrence of a Listed Event.

(G) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, the District with the consent of the Dissemination Agent and notice to the Authority may amend this section, and any provision of this section may be waived, provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) If the amendment or waiver relates to the provisions of subsection (B) of this section, it may only be made in connection with a change in circumstance that arises from a change in legal requirements, change in law, or change in the identity, nature or status of an obligated person with respect to the Note and the related Note Participations, or the type of business conducted;

(2) The undertaking, as amended or taking into account such waiver, would in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, have complied with the requirements of the Rule at the time of the original issuance of the Note and the related Note Participations, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule, as well as any change in circumstances; and

(3) The amendment or waiver either (i) is approved by the Owners or beneficial owners of the Note Participations of the Series which evidences and represents the Note in the same manner as provided in the Trust Agreement for amendments to the Trust Agreement with the consent of Owners or beneficial owners, or (ii) does not, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, materially impair the interests of the Owners or beneficial owners of the related Note Participations. In the event of any amendment or waiver of a provision of this section, notice of such change shall be given in the same manner as for an event listed under subsection (B) of this section, and shall include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver; provided, however, the District shall be responsible for preparing such narrative explanation.

(H) The Dissemination Agent shall have only such duties as are specifically set forth in this section. The Dissemination Agent shall not be liable for the exercise of any of its

rights hereunder or for the performance of any of its obligations hereunder or for anything whatsoever hereunder, except only for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Dissemination Agent shall not be liable for an error of judgment. No provision hereof shall require the Dissemination Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability or risk in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder, if such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The District hereunder agrees to compensate the Dissemination Agent for its reasonable fees in connection with its services hereunder, but only from the District’s share of the costs of issuance deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund held and invested by the Trustee under the Trust Agreement.

(I) This section shall inure solely to the benefit of the District, the Dissemination Agent, the Underwriter and the Owners and beneficial owners from time to time of the Note Participations, and shall create no rights in any other person or entity.

however, no interest shall be payable for any period after maturity during which the holder hereof fails to properly present this Note for payment. If the District fails to pay this Note when due or the Credit Provider (as defined in the Resolution hereinafter described), if any, is not reimbursed in full for the amount drawn on or paid pursuant to the Credit Instrument (as defined in the Resolution) to pay all or a portion of this Note on the date of such payment, this Note shall become a Defaulted Note (as defined and with the consequences set forth in the Resolution).

It is hereby certified, recited and declared that this Note (the “Note”) represents the authorized issue of the Note in the aggregate principal amount made, executed and given pursuant to and by authority of certain resolutions of the Legislative Body of the District duly passed and adopted heretofore, under and by authority of Article 7.6 (commencing with Section 53850) of Chapter 4, Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the California Government Code (collectively, the “Resolution”), to all of the provisions and limitations of which the owner of this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.
