This Official Statement, including the cover page, the inside cover page and the Appendices hereto, is provided to furnish certain information in connection with the issuance and sale by the Sulphur Springs Union School District Community Facilities District No. 2002-1 (the “District”) of its Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A (the “2013 Bonds”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,335,000. The 2013 Bonds will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a Fiscal Agent Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2012 (the “Original Fiscal Agent Agreement”), by and between the District and U.S. Bank National Association, as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, by and between the District and the Fiscal Agent, dated as of March 1, 2013 (the “First Supplement,” and, together with the Original Fiscal Agent Agreement, the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”) and pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (Sections 53311 et seq. of the Government Code of the State of California) (the “Act”).

The Act was enacted by the California Legislature to provide an alternate method of financing certain public facilities and services, especially in developing areas. Once duly established, a community facilities district is a legally constituted governmental entity established for the purpose of financing specific facilities and services within defined boundaries. Subject to approval by a two-thirds vote of the qualified electors within a community facilities district and compliance with the provisions of the Act, a community facilities district may issue bonds and levy and collect special taxes to repay its bonds.

The 2013 Bonds will be issued in denominations of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof and will be dated and bear interest from the date of their deliver, at the rates set forth on the inside cover page hereof. See “THE 2013 BONDS.” The 2013 Bonds, when issued, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). DTC will act as securities depository of the 2013 Bonds. Individual purchases of the 2013 Bonds will be made in book-entry form only. Principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the 2013 Bonds will be payable by DTC through the DTC participants. See “THE 2013 BONDS—Book-Entry System” and APPENDIX F—“INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.” Purchasers of the 2013 Bonds will not receive physical delivery of the 2013 Bonds purchased by them.

The 2013 Bonds are subject to optional redemption and special mandatory redemption prior to maturity as set forth herein. See “THE 2013 BONDS—Redemption” herein.

Use of Proceeds

The 2013 Bonds are being issued to (i) refund all of the District’s outstanding Subordinate Special Tax Bonds, Series 2008A issued in the original aggregate principal amount of $4,195,000, and currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $4,155,000 (the “Subordinate 2008 Bonds”), (ii) fund a reserve account for the 2013 Bonds which, when combined with the amount in the reserve account funded with respect to the 2012 Bonds (defined below), equals the Reserve Requirement (defined herein), and (iii) pay the

2

costs of issuance of the 2013 Bonds. See “THE REFUNDING PLAN” herein. The Subordinate 2008 Bonds were originally issued primarily to refinance certain facilities of the School District.

Security for the 2013 Bonds

The 2013 Bonds are secured by the pledge of Net Taxes and the other amounts in the Special Tax Fund (other than amounts in the Administrative Expense Account of the Special Tax Fund) on a parity with the District’s Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2012A, originally issued in the aggregate amount of $16,410,000 and currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $16,410,000 (the “2012 Bonds”) and any Parity Bonds (as defined herein) issued by the District in the future. See “THE 2013 BONDS—Issuance of Parity Bonds.” The 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds are sometimes referred to in this Official Statement, collectively, as the “Bonds.” Net Taxes is defined as Gross Taxes (exclusive of any penalties and interest accruing with respect to delinquent Special Tax installments) minus an amount equal to the Administrative Expense Requirement. Gross Taxes means the amount of all special taxes (the “Special Taxes” or the “Special Tax”) received by the District, together with the proceeds collected from the sale of property pursuant to the foreclosure provision of the Fiscal agent Agreement for the delinquency of such Special Taxes remaining after the payment of all the costs related to such foreclosure actions, including, but not limited to, all legal fees and expenses, court costs, consultant and title insurance fees and expenses. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—General.”

The District has established a Reserve Account pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Reserve Account will be funded from $58,378.04 of 2013 Bond proceeds and $1,601,628.09 of other moneys on deposit in the Reserve Account so that the Reserve Account balance will total $1,660,006.13 on the date of issuance of the 2013 Bonds. The Reserve Requirement as of any date of calculation will be an amount equal to the lowest of (1) 10% of the principal amount of the Bonds and each issue of Parity Bonds, or (2) Maximum Annual Debt Service, or (3) 125% of the average Annual Debt Service of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—Reserve Account.”

Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, additional bonds may be issued secured on a parity with the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds if certain conditions are met. See “THE 2013 BONDS—Issuance of Parity Bonds” herein.

For a further description of the rights and obligations of the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, see APPENDIX C—“SUMMARY OF FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT” hereto.

Ultimate purchasers of 2013 Bonds will not receive physical certificates representing their interest in the 2013 Bonds. So long as the 2013 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, references herein to the Owners shall mean Cede & Co., and shall not mean the ultimate purchasers of the 2013 Bonds. Payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and

9

interest on the 2013 Bonds will be made directly to DTC, or its nominee, Cede & Co., by the Fiscal Agent, so long as DTC or Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the 2013 Bonds. Disbursements of such payments to DTC’s Participants is the responsibility of DTC and disbursements of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of DTC’s Participants and Indirect Participants. See APPENDIX F—“INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.”

In the event of termination of such book-entry system with respect to the 2013 Bonds, the 2013 Bonds may be transferred and exchanged in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. See APPENDIX C—“SUMMARY OF FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT” and APPENDIX F—“INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.”

Issuance of Parity Bonds

The District may at any time after the issuance and delivery of the 2013 Bonds issue Parity Bonds payable from the Net Taxes and other amounts deposited in the Special Tax Fund (other than in the Administrative Expense Account and the Lease Payment Account therein) and secured by a lien and charge upon such amounts equal to the lien and charge securing the outstanding 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds and any other Parity Bonds theretofore issued under the Fiscal Agent Agreement or under any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement. Parity Bonds may be issued subject to additional specific conditions provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

One such condition requires a certificate from one or more Special Tax Consultants which, when taken together, certify that:

(i) the amount of Special Taxes that may be levied by the District pursuant to the Act and the applicable resolutions and ordinances of the District in each subsequent Fiscal Year on then existing Developed Property (as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes then in effect in the District) will produce Net Taxes (assuming no Special Tax delinquencies) of at least 1.10 times the corresponding Annual Debt Service for each remaining Bond Year on all Outstanding Bonds theretofore issued and the Parity Bonds proposed to be issued, and

(ii) the value of all parcels of real property in the District subject to the levy of the Special Tax and not delinquent in the payment of any Special Taxes due and owing, as determined based on an appraisal performed on a basis generally consistent with the appraisal conducted in connection with the issuance of the Bonds or based on assessed value, is at least ten times the sum of:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds and Parity Bonds then Outstanding, plus

(b) the aggregate principal amount of the series of Parity Bonds proposed to be issued, plus

(c) the aggregate principal amount of any fixed assessment liens on the parcels in the District subject to the levy of Special Taxes, plus

(d) a portion of the aggregate principal amount of any and all other community facilities district bonds then outstanding and payable at least partially from special taxes to be levied on parcels of property within the District (the “Other CFD Bonds”) equal to

10

the aggregate principal amount of the Other CFD Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of special taxes levied for the Other CFD Bonds on parcels of property within the District, and the denominator of which is the total amount of special taxes levied for the Other CFD Bonds on all parcels of property which are subject to the levy of such special taxes are levied to pay the Other CFD Bonds (such fraction to be determined based upon the maximum special taxes which could be levied in the year in which maximum annual debt service on the Other CFD Bonds occurs), based upon information which is available for the then current Fiscal Year.

However, if the Parity Bonds proposed to be issued are being issued to refund other outstanding 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds or Parity Bonds, the conditions precedent described above may be satisfied with a certificate of an Independent Financial Consultant certifying that in each Bond Year the Annual Debt Service on the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and Parity Bonds to remain Outstanding following the issuance of the Parity Bonds proposed to be issued is less than the Annual Debt Service on the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding prior to the issuance of such Parity Bonds. See APPENDIX C—“SUMMARY OF FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT—DEFEASANCE AND PARITY BONDS―Conditions for the Issuance of Parity Bonds and Other Additional Indebtedness” herein.

The 2013 Bonds are secured by a pledge of Net Taxes and the other amounts in the Special Tax Fund (other than amounts in the Administrative Expense Account of the Special Tax Fund). Net Taxes is defined as Gross Taxes (exclusive of any penalties and interest accruing with respect to delinquent Special Tax installments) minus an amount equal to the Administrative Expense Requirement. Gross Taxes means the

12

amount of all special taxes (the “Special Taxes” or the “Special Tax”) received by the District, together with the proceeds collected from the sale of property pursuant to the foreclosure provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the delinquency of such Special Taxes remaining after the payment of all the costs related to such foreclosure actions, including, but not limited to, all legal fees and expenses, court costs, consultant and title insurance fees and expenses.

In the event that delinquencies occur in the receipt of the Special Taxes within the District in any fiscal year, the District may increase its Special Tax levy in the following fiscal year up to the maximum amount permitted under the Rate and Method. Under no circumstances, however, will Special Taxes levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes be increased by more than 10 percent as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the District. Although the Special Tax levy may be increased, Special Taxes resulting from the increase may not be available to cure any delinquencies for a period of one year or more. In addition, an increase in the Special Tax levy may adversely affect the ability or willingness of property owners to pay their Special Taxes. See “—Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes” below and APPENDIX A—“RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES” hereto for a description of the District’s procedures for levying Special Taxes, and “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Insufficiency of Special Taxes.”

OWNERSHIP OF THE 2013 BONDS IS SUBJECT TO A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF RISK. POTENTIAL INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO CAREFULLY READ THE SECTION OF THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT ENTITLED “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS.”

The Special Taxes

The Special Taxes are to be apportioned, levied and collected according to the Rate and Method for the District. See APPENDIX A—“RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES” hereto.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2012-13 and so long as any 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds or Parity Bonds issued under the Fiscal Agent Agreement are Outstanding, the District has covenanted to levy the Special Tax in an amount sufficient, together with other amounts on deposit in the Special Tax Fund and available for such purpose, to pay (1) the principal of and interest on the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds when due, (2) the Administrative Expenses, and (3) any amounts required to replenish the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund to the Reserve Requirement. Subject to the maximum special tax rates, the Rate and Method is formulated to result in the levy each year of an amount of such payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, replenishment of the Reserve Account and related administrative expenses; however, see “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS” for a discussion of certain factors affecting the actual timely collection of such Special Tax levies.

Special Tax Fund

Pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, there is established a “Community Facilities District No. 2002-1 Special Tax Fund” (the “Special Tax Fund”) to be held and maintained by the Fiscal Agent. In the Special Tax Fund there is further established and created an Interest Account, a Principal Account, a Redemption Account, a Reserve Account and an Administrative Expense Account.

The amounts on deposit in the foregoing funds and accounts will be held by the Fiscal Agent in trust and the Fiscal Agent will invest and disburse the amounts in such funds and accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and will disburse investment earnings thereon in accordance with the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

13

The District will, on each date on which it receives Special Taxes, transfer the Special Taxes to the Fiscal Agent for deposit in the Special Tax Fund in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement to be held in trust. The Fiscal Agent will first deposit into the Administrative Expense Account of the Special Tax Fund an amount equal to the Administrative Expense Requirement and shall then transfer the amounts on deposit in the Special Tax Fund on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, in the following order of priority, to:

1. The Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund;

2. The Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund;

3. The Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund;

4. The Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund;

5. The Administrative Expense Account of the Special Tax Fund;

6. The Rebate Fund; and

7. The Surplus Fund.

Administrative Expense Account. The Fiscal Agent will transfer from the Special Tax Fund and deposit in the Administrative Expense Account of the Special Tax Fund from time to time amounts necessary to make timely payment of Administrative Expenses, which will be disbursed by the Fiscal Agent upon the Written Request of the District.

Interest Account and Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund. The principal of and interest due on the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds until maturity, other than principal due upon redemption, will be paid by the Fiscal Agent from the Principal Account and the Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund, respectively. At least five Business Days prior to each March 1 and September 1, the Fiscal Agent will make the following transfers from the Special Tax Fund first to the Interest Account and then to the Principal Account; provided, however, that to the extent that deposits have been made in the Interest Account or the Principal Account from the proceeds of the sale of an issue of the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds, any Parity Bonds, or otherwise, the transfer from the Special Tax Fund need not be made; and provided, further, that, if amounts in the Special Tax Fund are inadequate to make the foregoing transfers, then any deficiency shall be made up by an immediate transfer from the Reserve Account:

1. To the Interest Account, an amount such that the balance in the Interest Account five Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date will be equal to the installment of interest due on the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds on said Interest Payment Date and any installment of interest due on a previous Interest Payment Date which remains unpaid. Moneys in the Interest Account shall be used for the payment of interest on the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds as the same become due.

2. To the Principal Account, an amount such that the balance in the Principal Account five Business Days prior to September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2013 shall at least equal the principal payment due on the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds maturing on such September 1 and any principal payment due on a previous September 1 which remains unpaid. Moneys in the Principal Account will be used for the payment of the principal of such 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds as the same become due at maturity.

14

Reserve Account

Moneys in the Reserve Account will be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on any 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and Parity Bonds when due in the event that the moneys in the Interest Account and the Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund are insufficient therefor. If the amounts in the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund are insufficient to pay the principal of or interest on any 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and Parity Bonds when due, the Fiscal Agent will withdraw from the Reserve Account for deposit in the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund, as applicable, moneys necessary for such purposes.

Whenever moneys are withdrawn from the Reserve Account, after making the required transfers under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Fiscal Agent will transfer to the Reserve Account from available moneys in the Special Tax Fund, or from any other legally available funds which the District elects to apply to such purpose, the amount needed to restore the amount of such Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement. Moneys in the Special Tax Fund will be deemed available for transfer to the Reserve Account only if the Fiscal Agent determines that such amounts will not be needed to make the deposits required to be made to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund. If amounts in the Special Tax Fund or otherwise transferred to replenish the Reserve Account are inadequate to restore the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement, then the District will include the amount necessary to fully restore the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement in the next annual Special Tax levy to the extent of the maximum permitted Special Tax rates.

Anything to the contrary in the Fiscal Agent Agreement notwithstanding, the District may, at any time on or after the date of issuance of Parity Bonds, substitute an Alternate Reserve Account Security for cash in the Reserve Account.

Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Rate and Method. This summary does not purport to be comprehensive and reference should be made to the Rate and Method attached hereto as Appendix A. All capitalized terms not defined in this section have the meanings set forth in the Rate and Method.

For each Fiscal Year (i) each Assessor’s Parcel will be classified as Exempt Property or Taxable Property, (ii) each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property will be classified as Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (iii) each Assessor’s Parcel will be assigned to a Zone, (iv) each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property will further be classified as a Detached Unit or Attached Unit, and (v) each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property classified as a Detached Unit will further be classified according to its Building Square Footage.

Each Fiscal Year Annual Special Taxes will be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at the applicable Assigned Annual Special Tax rate. Annual Special Taxes collected will be used to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement for the District. If additional Annual Special Taxes are required to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement, then Annual Special Taxes shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to the applicable Assigned Annual Special Tax to satisfy such Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement. If additional Annual Special Taxes are still required to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement, then the Annual Special Taxes on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Annual Special Tax will be increased Proportionately up to the Backup Annual Special Tax to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement.

15

The maximum Special Taxes that may be levied on Developed Property within the District are at least 110% of maximum annual debt service on the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds. Notwithstanding that the maximum Special Taxes that may be levied in the District exceeds debt service due on the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds, the Special Taxes collected could be inadequate to make timely payment of debt service either because of nonpayment or because property becomes exempt from taxation as permitted in the Rate and Method. In the event of significant delinquencies in the District causing a depletion of all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, there would not be sufficient Special Taxes to pay the full amount of annual debt service on the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds until the delinquent Special Taxes were collected through foreclosure action or otherwise. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Bankruptcy and Foreclosure” for a discussion of potential delays in foreclosure actions.

Pursuant to the Rate and Method and the Act, under no circumstances may the Special Tax levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by owner of any other parcel or parcels within the District by more than 10% in any fiscal year. Thus, the District may not be able to increase Special Tax levies in future fiscal years by enough to make up for delinquencies for prior fiscal years. This would result in draws on the Reserve Account, and if delinquencies continue and in the aggregate exceed the Reserve Account balance, defaults would occur in the payment of principal and interest on the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds.

Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure

In the event of a delinquency in the payment of any installment of Special Taxes, the District is authorized by the Act to order institution of an action in the Superior Courts of the State to foreclose any lien therefor. In such action, the real property subject to the Special Taxes may be sold at a judicial foreclosure sale. The ability of the District to foreclose the lien of delinquent unpaid Special Taxes may be limited in certain instances and may require prior consent of the property owner in the event the property is owned by or in receivership of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) or other similar federal agencies. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Bankruptcy and Foreclosure” and “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Tax Delinquencies.” Such judicial foreclosure proceedings are not mandatory. However, in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the District has covenanted for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds that it (i) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against all parcels owned by a property owner where the aggregate delinquent Special Taxes on such parcels is greater than $5,000 by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which such Special Taxes were due and (ii) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against all parcels with delinquent Special Taxes by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which it receives Special Taxes in an amount which is less than 95% of the total Special Tax levied for such Fiscal Year, and (iii) will diligently pursue such foreclosure proceedings until the delinquent Special Taxes are paid; provided, however, that the District may elect to defer foreclosure proceedings on any parcel so long as the amount in the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund is at least equal to the Reserve Requirement and such delinquencies will not cause moneys in the Reserve Account to be withdrawn. The District may, but is not obligated to, advance funds from any source of legally available funds in order to maintain the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund at the Reserve Requirement.

There could be a default or a delay in payments to the owners of the 2013 Bonds pending prosecution of foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the District of foreclosure sale proceeds, if any, and subsequent transfer of those proceeds to the School District. However, up to the maximum amount permitted under the applicable Rate and Method, the District may adjust the Special Taxes levied on all property within the District to provide the amount required to pay debt service on the 2013 Bonds, subject to the following limitation. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53321(d), the Special Tax for public facilities levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within the District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in such Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—The Special Taxes” and

16

APPENDIX A—“RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES.” See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Bankruptcy and Foreclosure.”

No Obligation of the School District Upon Delinquency

The School District is under no obligation to transfer any funds of the School District into the Special Tax Fund or any other funds or accounts under the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the payment of the principal of or interest on the 2013 Bonds if a delinquency occurs in the payment of any Special Taxes. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure” for a discussion of the District’s obligation to foreclose Special Tax liens upon delinquencies.

THE DISTRICT

On June 19, 2002, the Board adopted a Resolution of Intention to form a community facilities district under the Act, to levy a special tax and to incur bonded indebtedness for the purpose of financing the improvements. After conducting a noticed public hearing, on July 24, 2002, the Board adopted the Resolution of Formation, which established the District and set forth the Rate and Method of Apportionment for the levy and collection of Special Taxes.

On July 24, 2002, an election was held within the District in which the sole landowner eligible to vote unanimously approved the incurrence of bonded indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $35,000,000 and the levy of the Special Tax.

Under the authorization approved by the eligible voters within the District, an additional $14,545,000 of bonds may be issued by the District. The District expects to issue bonds in the future whose proceeds will be used to finance certain school facilities outside the boundaries of the District. Such bonds, when issued, will be secured by Special Taxes levied on taxable parcels within the District. The School District expects that the Special Tax levied for purposes of financing school facilities will be greater in amount than the Special Tax levied for purposes of financing non-school facilities.

The District consists of approximately 156.87 taxable acres constituting Phase II and Phase III of a three-phased development known as the Fair Oaks Ranch. At buildout, it is anticipated that the District will contain 1,238 residential dwelling units. As of May 1, 2012, the District contained 1,096 residential dwelling units which will be classified as “Developed Property” for Fiscal Year 2012-13 under the Rate and Method, and an additional 142 parcels will be classified as “Undeveloped Property” for Fiscal Year 2012-13 under the Rate and Method, assuming no further development with the District. The Developed Property includes 33 parcels of Developed Property for which, as of January 1, 2012, no assessed value has been assigned by the County of Los Angeles (the “County”) Assessor in respect of improvements to the property. However, of the 33 parcels of Developed Property which had not been assigned improvement values for Fiscal Year 2012-13, 30 parcels have been issued Certificates of Occupancy as of January 1, 2013, indicating completion of a residential structure on such parcels. See “—Assessed Value-to-Lien Ratios” below.

Fair Oaks Ranch is the first master planned community built by the Developer in the east Santa Clarita Valley. Formerly known as Provence, this project totals 884.5 total gross acres (340 acres of residential, 30 acres of schools and parks, 27 acres of commercial and 487 acres of open space). The project was originally approved for 3,978 units with many high-density projects, but this total has been downsized. At buildout, Fair Oaks Ranch is projected to be comprised of 1,144 single family homes, 334 detached condominiums and 153 attached condominiums.

Direct and Overlapping Debt

The District is included within the boundaries of numerous overlapping local agencies providing governmental services. Some of these local agencies have outstanding bonds, and/or the authority to issue

17

bonds, payable from taxes or assessments. The existing and authorized indebtedness payable from taxes and assessments that may be levied upon the property within the District is shown in Table 1 below. In addition to current debt, new community facilities districts and/or special assessment districts could be formed in the future encompassing all or a portion of the property within the District without the approval of the District or the School District and such districts or the agencies that formed them could issue more bonds and levy additional special taxes or assessments.

The Table below reflects all property in the District, including all Developed Property, all Undeveloped Property and five parcels which are exempt from the Special Tax. As illustrated in the following tables, the Fiscal Year 2012-13 assessed value of the property subject to the Special Tax is $424,112,676, and the projected value-to-lien (including the 2012 Bonds, the 2013 Bonds and all other overlapping general obligation, special tax and assessment bonds within the District (approximately $26,434,661.11, inclusive of the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds)) is approximately 16.04-to-1. However, such value-to-lien ratio is for the entire District. The ratios of the value of individual lots within the District to their respective shares of the principal amount of the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and other overlapping debt varies substantially. See Table 3 herein. The data in Table 1 is as of January 1, 2013 and includes the Subordinate 2008 Bonds but not the 2013 Bonds, and also includes direct and overlapping debt for the entire District, including five parcels exempt from Special Taxes.

Overlapping Direct Assessments

The properties within the District are also subject to the following direct assessments:

County Library Assessments: This pay-as-you-go assessment is used to fund library services and materials and increases each year by the greater of 2.00% or the Consumer Price Index of the State of California. The Fiscal Year 2012-13 assessment is $28.61 per parcel.

19

County Mosquito Abatement District: This pay-as-you-go assessment is used for disease surveillance and pest control and changes annually based on the amount needed to pay for vector control programs in each district. Voter approval is required for an assessment rate of more than $20.00 per parcel. The assessment for Fiscal Year 2012-13 is $7.74 per parcel.

County Solid Waste Service Charge: This assessment is fixed at $3.51 per parcel of developed property unless there is a public vote to increase the assessment. There is no charge on undeveloped parcels. This pay-as-you-go assessment is used primarily to fund two programs, the Residential Recycling Educational Program and the Commercial and Industrial Outreach Program. These programs are designed to increase community participation with recycling and to offer technical assistance to multi-family residences to start recycling programs. This assessment also funds the Smart Gardening Program, which teaches residents how to utilize organic materials as nutrient rich fertilizer, and the Household Hazardous Waste Program, which conducts events throughout the County to collect and properly dispose of household waste, both hazardous and electronic.

County Sanitation District No. 32 Sewer Charge: This pay-as-you-go assessment is used to fund sewage service and is determined by the County Sanitation District each year based on the costs for providing the service. The Fiscal Year 2012-13 rates are shown below.

Land Use Category Special Tax Rate

Single Family Home $231.00/Parcel Duplex $346.50/Parcel Triplex $519.75/Parcel

The Fiscal Year 2012-13 assessment for those affected properties within the boundaries of the District is $44.50 per parcel.

Trauma and Emergency Services: This pay-as-you-go assessment provides funding to help maintain and enhance pre-hospital and hospital care services provided in both public and private trauma centers, acute care hospitals, other health care facilities, and trauma access through air transport for injuries and conditions such as those related to car accidents, drowning, heart attack, stroke, or exposure to a bioterrorist or chemical attack. The Fiscal Year 2012-13 assessment is $0.0423997 per square foot of property improvement including, but not limited to, living quarters, storage facilities, facilities used by business, non-profit, or religious organizations, etc.

County Regional Park and Open Space District: This assessment is based on the debt service due on bonds issued in 1992 through Proposition A. In 1996 voters approved an increase in the rate to $33.69 per acre beginning in Fiscal Year 1997-98. The assessment is fixed and will be levied until the Fiscal Year 2019-20 unless there is a voter-approved proposition to increase or extend the assessment. This assessment is used for park improvements and community centers. The assessment is based on a parcel’s size, use, and square feet of

20

improvements, and is determined by adding the flat rate for each land use category to a per acre charge of $33.69 per acre, as shown in the table below. For example, a single family residential unit with a parcel size of one (1) acre will have a flat rate charge of $14.46 per unit and a total direct assessment of $48.14. All parcels may only be charged up to 2.5 acres. For example, an undeveloped parcel with six (6) acres will be charged the same amount as an undeveloped parcel with 2.5 acres.

Land Use Category Flat Rate (Parcel size * $33.69/acre)

Total Special Tax for one (1) acre

Single Family Residential (SFR) $14.46/Unit $33.69/acre $48.14 Condominiums $14.46/Unit $33.69/acre $44.55 Undeveloped $0.00 $33.69/acre $33.69

County Fire Department Special Tax: Voters approved the special tax in Calendar Year 1997. The maximum rates approved in Calendar Year 1997 were $48.00 for a single family home, $60.63 + $.0063 per square foot for multiple family residential, and $58.10 + $.0392 per square foot for commercial/industrial property. The Los Angeles County Fire Department assessment increases each year by the greater of 2.00% or the Consumer Price Index of the State of California.

County of Los Angeles Flood Control District: This pay-as-you-go assessment is for the maintenance and operation of flood control facilities throughout the County. The assessment is calculated by dividing the product of $28.85, the acreage of the parcel, and a runoff factor, which is based on the zone, land use, and property classification of said parcel, by 0.0637. For those affected properties within the boundaries of the District, the median tax rate amount in Fiscal Year 2012-13 is $28.14.

Assessed Value-to-Lien Ratios

The District has not engaged an independent appraiser to provide an opinion concerning the values of the parcels within the District that comprise the Taxable Property. However, the District has determined the assessed values of those parcels, as shown on the Fiscal Year 2012-13 County Assessor’s roll (based on a January 1, 2012 lien date). The aggregate assessed value of the Taxable Property within the District are shown on the Fiscal Year 2012-13 County Assessor’s roll is $424,112,676, including $422,819,810 for property classified as Developed Property as of May 1, 2012 for the Fiscal Year 2012-13 Special Tax levy. The aggregate assessed value of the Taxable Property within the District as shown on the Fiscal Year 2011-12 County Assessor’s roll was $440,682,694. The Fiscal Year 2012-13 assessed value of the Taxable Property within the District of $424,112,676 represents an approximately 3.8% decline in assessed value from Fiscal Year 2011-12.

The value of the property within the District is significant to an evaluation of the 2013 Bonds because, in the event of a delinquency in the payment of Special Taxes, the District may foreclose only against delinquent parcels. Likewise, the ratio of the value of a parcel to its “share” of the applicable 2013 Bonds is important because it provides an indication of the extent of the relative burden imposed on each parcel by the Special Tax. As indicated above, the aggregate assessed value of the Taxable Property within the District as shown on the Fiscal Year 2012-13 County Assessor’s roll is $424,112,676. The ratio of that value to the $20,745,000 total principal amount of the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds and all other overlapping general obligation, special tax and assessment bonds within the District (approximately $26,434,661.11, inclusive of the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds) is approximately 16.04-to-1.

Moreover, the District does not expect to levy Special Taxes on Undeveloped Property within the District. Taking the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds and the direct and overlapping debt into account, the ratio of the aggregate assessed value of the Developed Property within the District ($422,819,810.00) to the total principal amount of all direct and overlapping general obligation, special tax and assessment bonds on the

23

Developed Property within the District (approximately $26,415,486.77, inclusive of the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds) is approximately 16.00-to-1.

The District contains 33 parcels of Developed Property for which, as of May 1, 2012, no assessed value has been assigned by the County Assessor in respect of improvements to the property. Of these 33 parcels, 30 parcels have received a certificate of occupancy as of January 1, 2013, indicating the final completion of a residential structure on the property. See Table 3 herein.

Additionally, Table 3 below sets forth the stratification of value-to-liens of the parcels within the District based on Fiscal Year 2012-13 assessed value and such parcels’ respective shares of the principal amount of the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds and other direct and overlapping debt within the District (allocated to each parcel based upon its respective share of the total projected Special Tax levy for Fiscal Year 2012-13) and the ratio of the assessed value to its share of the 2012 Bonds, 2013 Bonds and other direct and overlapping debt. Table 4 provides a breakdown of the respective value-to-lien within the District by tax class.

Each of the aforesaid value-to-lien ratios is for the entire District. However, the ratios of the value of individual lots within the District to their respective shares of the principal amount of the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds can be expected to vary substantially depending upon the status of development and selling price thereof. See Table 3 below. The apportionment of existing land secured debt other than the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds is a function of the rate and method of apportionment attributable to each of those community facilities districts.

Assessed values do not necessarily represent market values. Article XIIIA of the California Constitution (Proposition 13) defines “full cash value” to mean “the County assessor’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975/76 roll under ‘full cash value’, or, thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased or newly constructed or when a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment,” subject to exemptions in certain circumstances of property transfer or reconstruction. The “full cash value” is subject to annual adjustment to reflect increases, not to exceed 2% for any year, or decreases in the consumer price index or comparable local data, or to reflect reductions in property value caused by damage, destruction or other factors. Because of the general limitation to 2% per year in increases in full cash value of properties which remain in the same ownership, the County tax roll does not reflect values uniformly proportional to actual market values. Moreover, as a result of declines in the market value of properties in recent years, assessed valuations of many properties in the County have declined in the recent years. As a result of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the assessed valuations of the properties within the District accurately reflect their respective market values, and the future fair market values of those properties may be lower than their current assessed valuations.

No assurance can be given that, should a delinquent parcel be foreclosed and sold for the amount of the delinquency, any bid will be received for such parcel, or if a bid is received that such bid will be sufficient to pay such delinquent Special Taxes.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Sulphur Springs Union School District (the “School District”) is a school district organized under the laws of the State. The District covers approximately 75 square miles in northern Los Angeles County (the “County”) in the eastern section of the Santa Clarita Valley (the “Santa Clarita Valley”). The School District was originally formed in 1897. The School District consists of nine elementary schools which includes grades Kindergarten through sixth. The School District serves a portion of the City of Santa Clarita, as well as certain unincorporated areas of the County, including a major portion of the community of Canyon Country and part of the community of Newhall.

The Santa Clarita Valley is emerging as a regional center for north Los Angeles County. The Santa Clarita Valley lies approximately 35 miles northwest of the Los Angeles Civic Center. The Santa Clarita Valley is surrounded by Santa Susanna, San Gabriel and Sierra Pelona Mountain Ranges forming an inverted triangle which separates it from the San Fernando Valley to the south, San Joaquin Valley to the north, Mojave Desert to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The Santa Clara River and its tributaries flow over 490,000 acres of mountains and canyons from the Santa Clarita Valley.

29

Administration. The School District is governed by a five-member Board of Trustees (the “Board”), each member of which is elected at large to a four-year term. Elections for positions to the Board are held every four years. Current members of the Board, together with their office and the date their term expires, are listed below:

Board Member Office Term Expires

SPECIAL RISK FACTORS

The following is a discussion of certain risk factors which should be considered, in addition to other matters set forth herein, in evaluating the investment quality of the 2013 Bonds. This discussion does not purport to be comprehensive or definitive. The occurrence of one or more of the events discussed herein could adversely affect the ability or willingness of property owners in the District to pay their Special Taxes when due. Such failures to pay Special Taxes could result in the inability of the District to make full and punctual payments of debt service on the 2013 Bond. In addition, the occurrence of one or more of the events discussed herein could adversely affect the value of the property in the District.

Risks of Real Estate Secured Investments Generally

The Owners of the 2013 Bonds will be subject to the risks generally incident to an investment secured by real estate, including, without limitation, (i) adverse changes in local market conditions, such as changes in the market value of real property in the vicinity of the District, the supply of or demand for competitive properties in such area, and the market value of residential property or buildings and/or sites in the event of sale or foreclosure; (ii) changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, governmental rules (including, without limitation, zoning laws and laws relating to endangered species and hazardous materials) and fiscal policies; (iii) natural disasters (including, without limitation, earthquakes, wildfires and floods), which may result in uninsured losses; (iv) adverse changes in local market conditions; and (v) increased delinquencies due to rising mortgage costs and other factors.

30

Risks Related to Current Market Conditions

The housing market in southern California experienced significant price appreciation and accelerating demand from approximately 2002 to 2006 but subsequently the housing market weakened substantially, with changes from the prior pattern of price appreciation and a slowdown in demand for new housing and declining prices. Since 2006, home developers, appraisers and market absorption consultants have reported weak new home market conditions due to factors including but not limited to the following: (i) lower demand for new homes; (ii) significant increase in cancellation rates for homes under contract; (iii) the exit of speculators from the new home market; (iv) increasing mortgage defaults and foreclosures, (v) a growing supply of new and existing homes available for purchase; (vi) increase in competition for new homes orders; (vii) prospective home buyers having a more difficult time selling their existing homes in the more competitive environment; (viii) reduced sales prices and/or higher incentives required to stimulate new home orders or to induce home buyers not to cancel purchase contracts, (ix) more stringent credit qualification requirements by home loan providers and (x) increased unemployment levels. Any such factors may affect the willingness or ability of taxpayers to pay their Special Tax payment prior to delinquency.

Economic Uncertainty

The 2013 Bonds are being issued at a time of economic uncertainty and volatility. Unemployment rates are approximately 11.8% for the County as of February 2012 (not seasonally adjusted) as compared to approximately 12.6% for calendar year 2010 (not seasonally adjusted) and decreased to approximately 10.9% (not seasonally adjusted) for the State as of February 2012 as compared to approximately 12.4% for calendar year 2010 (not seasonally adjusted). The District cannot predict how long these conditions will last or whether to what extent they may affect the ability of homeowners to pay Special Taxes or the marketability of the 2013 Bonds.

Disclosure to Future Homebuyers

The willingness or ability of an owner of a parcel to pay the Special Tax, even if the value of the parcel is sufficient, may be affected by whether or not the owner was given due notice of the Special Tax authorization at the time the owner purchased the parcel, was informed of the amount of the Special Tax on the parcel should the Special Tax be levied at the maximum tax rate and the risk of such a levy, and, at the time of such a levy, has the ability to pay it as well as pay other expenses and obligations. The District has caused a Notice of Special Tax lien to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder for the County against each parcel. While title companies normally refer to such notices in title reports, there can be no guarantee that such reference will be made or, if made, that a prospective purchaser or lender will consider such Special Tax obligation in the purchase of a property within the District or lending of money thereon.

The Act requires the subdivider (or its agent or representative) of a subdivision to notify a prospective purchaser or long-term lessor of any lot, parcel, or unit subject to a Mello-Roos special tax of the existence and maximum amount of such special tax using a statutorily prescribed form. California Civil Code Section 1102.6b requires that in the case of transfers other than those covered by the above requirement, the seller must at least make a good faith effort to notify the prospective purchaser of the special tax lien in a format prescribed by statute. Failure by an owner of the property to comply with the above requirements, or failure by a purchaser or lessor to consider or understand the nature and existence of the Special Tax, could adversely affect the willingness and ability of the purchaser or lessor to pay the Special Tax when due.

Parity Taxes and Special Assessments

The Special Taxes and any penalties thereon will constitute a lien against the lots and parcels of land on which they will be annually imposed until they are paid. Such lien is on a parity with all special taxes and special assessments levied by other agencies and is coequal to and independent of the lien for general property taxes regardless of when they are imposed upon the same property. The Special Taxes have priority over all

31

existing and future private liens imposed on the property. The District, however, has no control over the ability of other entities and districts to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property within the District. In addition, the landowners within the District may, without the consent or knowledge of the District, petition other public agencies to issue public indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments. Any such special taxes or assessments may have a lien on such property on a parity with the Special Taxes. The properties within the District are currently within Community Facilities District No. 98-1 of the William S. Hart Union High School District and the Developer has agreed in the Mitigation Agreement to prepay special taxes relating to such community facilities district prior to the issuance of a building permit for each dwelling unit. See “THE DISTRICT—Direct and Overlapping Debt.”

Assessed Value; Land Value

The value of the land within the District is an important factor in determining the investment quality of the 2013 Bonds. If a property owner is delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes, the District’s only remedy is to commence foreclosure proceedings in an attempt to obtain funds to pay the Special Taxes. Reductions in property values due to a downturn in the economy, physical events such as earthquakes or floods, stricter land use regulations, delays in development or other events will adversely impact the security underlying the Special Taxes. See “THE DISTRICT—Assessed Value-to-Lien Ratios” for a discussion of the assessed value within the District.

Insufficiency of Special Taxes

Under the Rate and Method, the annual amount of Special Tax to be levied on each taxable parcel in the District will be based primarily on whether such parcel is developed or not and, for detached developed property on the square footage, and for undeveloped property on the acreage of the Assessor’s Parcel. See APPENDIX A—“RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES” and “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes.” Accordingly, to the extent property is not developed, collection of the Special Taxes will be dependent on the willingness and ability of the owners of undeveloped property to pay such Special Taxes when due. However, the District does not expect to levy Special Taxes on Undeveloped Property. See “THE DISTRICT—Special Tax Coverage.”

The Act provides that, if any property within the District not otherwise exempt from the Special Tax is acquired by a public entity through a negotiated transaction, or by a gift or devise, the Special Tax will continue to be levied on and enforceable against the public entity that acquired the property. However, Table 12 of the Rate and Method expressly sets forth the minimum taxable acreage by Zone within the District. In addition, the Act provides that, if property subject to the Special Tax is acquired by a public entity through eminent domain proceedings, the obligation to pay the Special Tax with respect to that property is to be treated as if it were a special assessment and be paid from the eminent domain award. The constitutionality and operation of these provisions of the Act have not been tested in the courts. MOREOVER, IF A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF LAND WITHIN THE DISTRICT BECAME EXEMPT FROM THE SPECIAL TAX BECAUSE OF PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, OR OTHERWISE, THE MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX WHICH COULD BE LEVIED UPON THE REMAINING ACREAGE MIGHT NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE 2013 BONDS WHEN DUE AND A DEFAULT COULD OCCUR WITH RESPECT TO THE PAYMENT OF SUCH PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

Furthermore, Administrative Expenses of up to $30,474.86 for Fiscal Year 2012-13, and escalating by 2% each subsequent Fiscal Year, are paid by the District prior to the payment of debt service on the 2013 Bonds.

Tax Delinquencies

Under provisions of the Act, the Special Taxes, from which funds necessary for the payment of principal of, and interest on, the 2013 Bonds are derived, will be billed to the properties within the District on

32

the regular property tax bills sent to owners of such properties. Such Special Tax installments are due and payable, and bear the same penalties and interest for non-payment, as do regular property tax installments. Special Tax installment payments cannot be made to the County Tax Collector separately from property tax payments. Therefore, the unwillingness or inability of a property owner to pay regular property tax bills as evidenced by property tax delinquencies may also indicate an unwillingness or inability to make regular property tax payments and Special Tax installment payments in the future.

See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure” for a discussion of the provisions which apply, and procedures which the District is obligated to follow under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, in the event of delinquency in the payment of Special Tax installments.

Uncertainties in Land Development – General

At buildout, it is anticipated that the District will contain 1,238 residential dwelling units. As of May 1, 2012, the District contained 1,096 residential dwelling units classified as “Developed Property” for Fiscal Year 2012-13 under the Rate and Method, and an additional 142 parcels classified as “Undeveloped Property” for Fiscal Year 2012-13 under the Rate and Method. Since land without completed buildings is generally less valuable than land containing completed buildings, the vacant land will provide less security for the 2013 Bonds should it be necessary for the District to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such land as a result of the non-payment of the Special Taxes. In short, the successful development of the land within the District is important to the ultimate security for, and the payment of principal of and interest on, the 2013 Bonds.

There are many reasons why a project may not be developed in the manner and within the time frame and budget originally planned. For example, a project might be adversely affected by opposition to it, unfavorable economic conditions, an inability of the landowner to obtain financing, fluctuations in the local real estate market, fluctuations in interest rates, unexpected increases in development costs, changes in federal, state or local governmental policies relating to the ownership and development of real estate, and the appearance of previously unknown environmental considerations or material changes in known environmental considerations. Some of these factors are discussed below as individual risk factors.

Future Land Use Regulations and Growth Control Initiatives

In recent years, citizens of a number of local communities in Southern California, including citizens of the County of Riverside, the County of Orange and the County of San Diego, have placed measures on the ballot designed to control the rate of future growth in those areas. It is possible that future initiatives could be enacted and become applicable to the development within the District (the “Development”) and could, if applied retroactively, negatively impact the ability of the Developer to complete the proposed Development. 2013 Bondowners should assume that any event that impacts the ability to develop land in the District could cause the land values within the District to decrease and could affect the willingness and ability of the owners of land within the District to pay the Special Taxes when due. See “THE DISTRICT—Assessed Value-to-Lien Ratios.”

In evaluating the investment quality of the 2013 Bonds, investors should assume that the possible enactment of more restrictive land use regulations by the County, or by voter initiative presents a substantial risk to the timely construction and completion of development, except with respect to units for which building permits have already been issued and substantial work and liabilities have been incurred in good faith reliance thereon prior to the date of adoption of any such land use regulations.

The failure to complete the Development as planned, or substantial delays in the completion of the Development, due to litigation or other causes may reduce the value of the property within the District, and will increase the amount of Special Taxes to be paid by the owners of undeveloped property and may affect the willingness and ability of the owners of land within the District to pay the Special Taxes when due.

33

Natural Disasters

The District, like all California communities, may be subject to unpredictable seismic activity, fires due to the vegetation and topography, or flooding in the event of significant rainfall. The occurrence of seismic activity, fires or flooding in or around the District could result in substantial damage to properties in the District, which, in turn, could substantially reduce the value of such properties. Moreover, the District is located in an area known to be at high risk for wild fires. In addition, droughts and high winds can exacerbate the fire danger to the District, and fires can spread with frightening speed. As a result of the occurrence of such a natural disaster event such as an earthquake, flooding or wild fire, a substantial portion of the property owners may be unable or unwilling to pay the Special Taxes when due, and the reserve fund for the 2013 Bonds may become depleted. In addition, the value of land in the District could be diminished in the aftermath of such natural events, reducing the resulting proceeds of foreclosure sales in the event of delinquencies in the payment of the Special Taxes.

Hazardous Substances

A serious risk in terms of the potential reduction in the value of a parcel within the District is a claim with regard to a hazardous substance. In general, the owners and operators of a parcel within the District may be required by law to remedy conditions of such parcel relating to release or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as “CERCLA” or the “Superfund Act,” is the most well known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also similarly stringent. Under many of these laws, the owner or operator is obligated to remedy a hazardous substance condition of the property whether or not the owner or operator had anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the parcels within the District be affected by a hazardous substance, will be to reduce the marketability and value of such parcel by the costs of remedying the condition, because the prospective purchaser, upon becoming the owner, will become obligated to remedy the condition just as the seller is.

Further it is possible that liabilities may arise in the future with respect to any of the parcels resulting from the current existence on the parcel of a substance currently classified as hazardous but which has not been released or the release of which is not presently threatened, or may arise in the future resulting from the current existence on the parcel of a substance not presently classified as hazardous but which may in the future be so classified. Further, such liabilities may arise not simply from the existence of a hazardous substance but from the method in which it is handled. All of these possibilities could significantly affect the value of a parcel within the District that is realizable upon a delinquency.

Neither the School District nor the District has knowledge of any hazardous substances being located on the property within the District.

Bankruptcy and Foreclosure

The payment of property owners’ taxes and the ability of the District to foreclose the lien of a delinquent unpaid Special Tax pursuant to its covenant to pursue judicial foreclosure proceedings, may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights or by the laws of the State relating to judicial foreclosure. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure.” In addition, the prosecution of a foreclosure could be delayed due to many reasons, including crowded local court calendars or lengthy procedural delays.

The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the 2013 Bonds (including Bond Counsel’s approving legal opinion) will be qualified, as to the enforceability of the various legal instruments, by moratorium, bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

34

In addition, bankruptcy of a property owner (or a property owner’s partner or equity owner) would likely result in a delay in procuring Superior Court foreclosure proceedings unless the bankruptcy court consented to permit such foreclosure action to proceed. Such delay would increase the likelihood of a delay or default in payment of the principal of, and interest on, the 2013 Bonds and the possibility of delinquent tax installments not being paid in full.

Under 11 U.S.C. Section 362(b)(18), in the event of a bankruptcy petition filed on or after October 22, 1994, the lien for ad valorem taxes in subsequent fiscal years will attach even if the property is part of the bankruptcy estate. 2013 Bondowners should be aware that the potential effect of 11 U.S.C. Section 362(b)(18) on the Special Taxes depends upon whether a court were to determine that the Special Taxes should be treated like ad valorem taxes for this purpose.

On July 30, 1992, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion in a bankruptcy case entitled In re Glasply Marine Industries. In that case, the court held that ad valorem property taxes levied by Snohomish County in the State of Washington after the date that the property owner filed a petition for bankruptcy were not entitled to priority over a secured creditor with a prior lien on the property. Although the court upheld the priority of unpaid taxes imposed before the bankruptcy petition, unpaid taxes imposed after the filing of the bankruptcy petition were declared to be “administrative expenses” of the bankruptcy estate, payable after all secured creditors. As a result, the secured creditor was able to foreclose on the property and retain all the proceeds of the sale except the amount of the pre-petition taxes.

According to the court’s ruling, as administrative expenses, post petition taxes would be paid, assuming that the debtor had sufficient assets to do so. In certain circumstances, payment of such administrative expenses may be allowed to be deferred. Once the property is transferred out of the bankruptcy estate (through foreclosure or otherwise), it would at that time become subject to current ad valorem taxes.

The Act provides that the Special Taxes are secured by a continuing lien which is subject to the same lien priority in the case of delinquency as ad valorem taxes. No case law exists with respect to how a bankruptcy court would treat the lien for Special Taxes levied after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy. Glasply is controlling precedent on bankruptcy courts in the State. If the Glasply precedent was applied to the levy of the Special Taxes, the amount of Special Taxes received from parcels whose owners declare bankruptcy could be reduced.

Moreover, the ability of the District to commence and prosecute enforcement proceedings may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights (such as the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Relief Act of 1940) and by the laws of the State relating to judicial foreclosure.

FDIC/Federal Government Interests in Parcels

The ability of the District to collect interest and penalties specified by the Act and to foreclose the lien of delinquent Special Taxes may be limited in certain respects with regard to parcels in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), or other federal government entities such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, has or obtains an interest.

In the case of FDIC, in the event that any financial institution making a loan which is secured by parcels is taken over by the FDIC and the applicable Special Tax is not paid, the remedies available to the District may be constrained. The FDIC’s policy statement regarding the payment of state and local real property taxes (the “Policy Statement”) provides that taxes other than ad valorem taxes which are secured by a valid lien in effect before the FDIC acquired an interest in a property will be paid unless the FDIC determines that abandonment of its interests is appropriate. The Policy Statement provides that the FDIC generally will not pay installments of non-ad valorem taxes which are levied after the time the FDIC acquires its fee interest, nor will the FDIC recognize the validity of any lien to secure payment except in certain cases where the Resolution Trust Corporation had an interest in property on or prior to December 31, 1995. Moreover, the

35

Policy Statement provides that, with respect to parcels on which the FDIC holds a mortgage lien, the FDIC will not permit its lien to be foreclosed out by a taxing authority without its specific consent, nor will the FDIC pay or recognize liens for any penalties, fines or similar claims imposed for the non payment of taxes.

The FDIC has taken a position similar to that expressed in the Policy Statement in legal proceedings brought against Orange County in United States Bankruptcy Court and in Federal District Court. The Bankruptcy Court issued a ruling in favor of the FDIC on certain of such claims. Orange County appealed that ruling, and the FDIC cross-appealed. On August 28, 2001, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling favorable to the FDIC except with respect to the payment of pre-receivership liens based upon delinquent property tax.

The District is unable to predict what effect the application of the Policy Statement would have in the event of a delinquency with respect to parcels in which the FDIC has or obtains an interest, although prohibiting the lien of the FDIC to be foreclosed out at a judicial foreclosure sale would prevent or delay the foreclosure sale.

In the case of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in the event a parcel of taxable property is owned by a federal government entity or federal government sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or a private deed of trust secured by a parcel of taxable property is owned by a federal government entity or federal government sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the ability to foreclose on the parcel or to collect delinquent Special Taxes may be limited. Federal courts have held that, based on the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution “this Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” In the absence of Congressional intent to the contrary, a state or local agency cannot foreclose to collect delinquent taxes or assessments if foreclosure would impair the federal government interest. This means that, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if a federal government entity owns a parcel of taxable property but does not pay taxes and assessments levied on the parcel (including Special Taxes), the applicable state and local governments cannot foreclose on the parcel to collect the delinquent taxes and assessments.

Moreover, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if the federal government has a mortgage interest in the parcel and the District wishes to foreclose on the parcel as a result of delinquent Special Taxes, the property cannot be sold at a foreclosure sale unless it can be sold for an amount sufficient to pay delinquent taxes and assessments on a parity with the Special Taxes and preserve the federal government’s mortgage interest. For a discussion of risks associated with taxable parcels within the District becoming owned by the federal government, federal government entities or federal government sponsored entities, see “—Insufficiency of Special Taxes.”

The District’s remedies may also be limited in the case of delinquent Special Taxes with respect to parcels in which other federal agencies (such as the Internal Revenue Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration) have or obtain an interest.

Billing of Special Taxes

A special tax formula can result in a substantially heavier property tax burden being imposed upon properties within a community facilities district than elsewhere in a city or county, and this in turn, along with various other factors, can lead to problems in the collection of the special tax. In some community facilities districts, taxpayers have refused to pay the special tax and have commenced litigation challenging the special tax, the community facilities district and the bonds issued by the district.

Under provisions of the Act, the Special Taxes are billed to the properties within the District which were entered on the Assessment Roll of the County Assessor by January 1 of the previous Fiscal Year on the

36

regular property tax bills sent to owners of such properties. Such Special Tax installments are due and payable, and bear the same penalties and interest for non-payment, as do regular property tax installments. Ordinarily, these Special Tax installment payments cannot be made separately from property tax payments. Therefore, the unwillingness or inability of a property owner to pay regular property tax bills as evidenced by property tax delinquencies may also indicate an unwillingness or inability to make regular property tax payments and installment payments of Special Taxes in the future. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure,” for a discussion of the provisions which apply, and procedures which the District is obligated to follow, in the event of delinquency in the payment of installments of Special Taxes.

Collection of Special Taxes

In order to pay debt service on the 2013 Bonds, it is necessary that the Special Tax levied against land within the District be paid in a timely manner. The District has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement under certain conditions to institute foreclosure proceedings against property with delinquent Special Taxes in order to obtain funds to pay debt service on the 2013 Bonds. If foreclosure proceedings were instituted, any mortgage or deed of trust holder could, but would not be required to, advance the amount of the delinquent Special Taxes to protect its security interest. In the event such superior court foreclosure is necessary, there could be a delay in principal and interest payments to the owners of the 2013 Bonds pending prosecution of the foreclosure proceedings and receipt of the proceeds of the foreclosure sale, if any. No assurances can be given that the real property subject to foreclosure and sale at a judicial foreclosure sale will be sold or, if sold, that the proceeds of such sale will be sufficient to pay any delinquent Special Taxes installment. Although the Act authorizes the District to cause such an action to be commenced and diligently pursued to completion, the Act does not specify the obligations of the District with regard to purchasing or otherwise acquiring any lot or parcel of property sold at the foreclosure sale if there is no other purchaser at such sale. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure.”

Maximum Special Tax Rates

Within the limits of each Rate and Method, the District may adjust the Special Taxes levied on all property within the District to provide the amount required each year to pay annual debt service and to replenish the Reserve Account to an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement. However, the amount of Special Taxes that may be levied against particular categories of property is subject to the maximum tax rates set forth in the applicable Rate and Method. In the event of significant Special Tax delinquencies, there is no assurance that the maximum tax rates would be sufficient to meet debt service obligations on the 2013 Bonds. Moreover, pursuant to Government Code Section 53321(d), the Special Tax for public facilities levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within the District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in such Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS—The Special Taxes” and APPENDIX A—“RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES.”

So long as certain conditions are met, each Rate and Method provides that the District shall not levy a Special Tax on Property classified as Exempt Property. Under the Rate and Method, the Board will not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the Acreage of Taxable Property of a respective Zone to less than the Minimum Taxable Acreage. Assessor’s Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of Taxable Property in such Zone to less than the Minimum Taxable Acreage will continue to be classified as Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, as applicable, and will continue to be subject to Special Taxes accordingly.

37

In addition, the Act provides that properties or entities of the State, federal or local government are exempt from the Special Taxes; provided, however, the property within the District acquired by a public entity through a negotiated transaction or by gift or devise, which is not otherwise exempt from the Special Taxes, will continue to be subject to the Special Taxes. The Act further provides that if property subject to the Special Taxes is acquired by a public entity through eminent domain proceedings, the obligation to pay the Special Taxes with respect to that property is to be treated as if it were a special assessment. The constitutionality and operation of these provisions of the Act have not been tested. In particular, insofar as the Act requires payment of the Special Taxes by a federal entity acquiring property within the District, it may be unconstitutional.

If for any reason property within the District becomes exempt from taxation by reason of its status under the Rate and Method, or by reason of its ownership by a nontaxable entity such as the federal government or another public agency, subject to the limitation of the maximum authorized rates, the Special Taxes will be reallocated to the remaining taxable properties within the District. This would result in the owners of such property paying a greater amount of the Special Taxes and could have an adverse impact upon the timely payment of the Special Taxes.

Payment of Special Taxes is not a Personal Obligation of the Property Owners

An owner of a taxable parcel is not personally obligated to pay Special Taxes. Rather, Special Taxes are an obligation which is secured only by a lien against the taxable parcel. If the value of a taxable parcel is not sufficient, taking into account other liens imposed by public agencies, to secure fully Special Taxes, the District has no recourse against the property owner.

Proposition 218

An initiative measure commonly referred to as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” (the “Initiative”) was approved by the voters of the State of California at the November 5, 1996 general election. The Initiative added Article XIIIC and Article XIIID to the California Constitution. According to the “Title and Summary” of the Initiative prepared by the California Attorney General, the Initiative limits “the authority of local governments to impose taxes and property-related assessments, fees and charges.” The provisions of the Initiative have not yet been interpreted by the courts, although several lawsuits have been filed requesting the courts to interpret various aspects of the Initiative. The Initiative could potentially impact the Special Taxes available to the District to pay the principal of and interest on the 2012 Bonds, the 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds as described below.

Among other things, Section 3 of Article XIII states that “. . . the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge.” The Act provides for a procedure which includes notice, hearing, protest and voting requirements to alter the rate and method of apportionment of an existing special tax. However, the Act prohibits a legislative body from adopting any resolution to reduce the rate of any special tax or terminate the levy of any special tax pledged to repay any debt incurred pursuant to the Act unless such legislative body determines that the reduction or termination of the special tax would not interfere with the timely retirement of that debt. On July 1, 1997, a bill was signed into law by the Governor of the State enacting Government Code Section 5854, which states that:

“Section 3 of Article XIIIC of the California Constitution, as adopted at the November 5, 1996, general election, shall not be construed to mean that any owner or beneficial owner of a municipal security, purchased before or after that date, assumes the risk of, or in any way consents to, any action by initiative measure that constitutes an impairment of contractual rights protected by Section 10 of Article I of the United States Constitution.”

38

Accordingly, although the matter is not free from doubt, it is likely that the Initiative has not conferred on the voters the power to repeal or reduce the Special Taxes if such reduction would interfere with the timely retirement of the 2012 Bonds, the 2013 Bonds or any Parity Bonds.

It may be possible, however, for voters or the Board of Trustees acting as the legislative body of the District to reduce the Special Taxes in a manner which does not interfere with the timely repayment of the 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds, but which does reduce the maximum amount of Special Taxes that may be levied in any year below the existing levels. Furthermore, no assurance can be given with respect to the future levy of the Special Taxes in amounts greater than the amount necessary for the timely retirement of the 2013 Bonds and any Parity Bonds. Therefore, no assurance can be given with respect to the levy of Special Taxes for Administrative Expenses. Nevertheless, to the maximum extent that the law permits it to do so, the District has covenanted that it will not initiate proceedings under the Act to reduce the maximum Special Tax rates on parcels within the District to an amount that is less than 110% of the sum of Administrative Expenses and gross debt service on all 2013 Bonds and Parity Bonds to remain outstanding after the reduction is approved. In connection with the foregoing covenant, the District has made a legislative finding and determination that any elimination or reduction of Special Taxes below the foregoing level would interfere with the timely retirement of the 2013 Bonds and Parity Bonds. The District also has covenanted that, in the event an initiative is adopted which purports to alter the Rate and Method, it will commence and pursue legal action in order to preserve its ability to comply with the foregoing covenant. However, no assurance can be given as to the enforceability of the foregoing covenants.

The interpretation and application of the Initiative will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination or the timeliness of any remedy afforded by the courts. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Limitations on Remedies.”

Ballot Initiatives

Articles XIIIC and XIIID were adopted pursuant to measures qualified for the ballot pursuant to California’s constitutional initiative process. On March 6, 1995, in the case of Rossi v. Brown, the State Supreme Court held that an initiative can repeal a tax ordinance and prohibit the imposition of further such taxes and that the exemption from the referendum requirements does not apply to initiatives. From time to time, other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters. The adoption of any such initiative might place limitations on the ability of the State, the City, or local districts to increase revenues or to increase appropriations or on the ability of the landowners within the District to complete the remaining proposed development.

No Acceleration

The 2013 Bonds do not contain a provision allowing for their acceleration in the event of a payment default or other default under the terms of the 2013 Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement or upon any adverse change in the tax status of interest on the 2013 Bonds. There is no provision in the Act or the Fiscal Agent Agreement for acceleration of the Special Taxes in the event of a payment default by an owner of a parcel within the District. Pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, a 2013 Bond Owner is given the right for the equal benefit and protection of all 2013 Bond Owners to pursue certain remedies described in APPENDIX C—“SUMMARY OF FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT.”

Loss of Tax Exemption

As discussed under the caption “LEGAL MATTERS—Tax Exemption,” in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the 2013 Bonds, the District has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement not to 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 interest on the 2013

39

Bonds under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Interest on the 2013 Bonds could become includable in gross income for purposes of Federal income taxation retroactive to the date the 2013 Bonds were issued, as a result of acts or omissions of the School District or the District in violation of the Code. Should such an event of taxability occur, the 2013 Bonds are not subject to early redemption and will remain outstanding to maturity or until redeemed under the optional redemption provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Moreover, legislation affecting the exclusion of interest on the 2013 Bonds from gross income may be considered by the United States Congress and the State legislature. Federal and state court proceedings and the outcome of such proceedings could also affect the exclusion of interest on the 2013 Bonds from gross income. No assurance can be given that legislation enacted or proposed, or actions by a court, after the date of issuance of the 2013 Bonds will not have an adverse effect on the tax exemption of interest on the 2013 Bonds or the market value of the 2013 Bonds. See “LEGAL MATTERS — Tax Exemption.”

Limitations on Remedies

Remedies available to the 2013 Bond Owners may be limited by a variety of factors and may be inadequate to assure the timely payment of principal of and interest on the 2013 Bonds or to preserve the tax-exempt status of the 2013 Bonds. Bond Counsel has limited its opinion as to the enforceability of the 2013 Bonds and of the Fiscal Agent Agreement to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditor’s rights, by equitable principles and by the exercise of judicial discretion. Additionally, the 2013 Bonds are not subject to acceleration in the event of the breach of any covenant or duty under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The lack of availability of certain remedies or the limitation of remedies may entail risks of delay, limitation or modification of the rights of the 2013 Bond Owners.

Enforceability of the rights and remedies of the 2013 Bond Owners, and the obligations incurred by the District, may become subject to the federal bankruptcy code and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, now or hereafter in effect, equity principles which may limit the specific enforcement under State law of certain remedies, the exercise by the United States of America of the powers delegated to it by the Constitution, the reasonable and necessary exercise, in certain exceptional situations, of the police powers inherent in the sovereignty of the State and its governmental bodies in the interest of serving a significant and legitimate public purpose and the limitations on remedies against joint powers authorities in the State. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Bankruptcy and Foreclosure.”

Limited Secondary Market

As stated herein, investment in the 2013 Bonds poses certain economic risks which may not be appropriate for certain investors, and only persons with substantial financial resources who understand the risk of investment in the 2013 Bonds should consider such investment. There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for purchase or sale of the 2013 Bonds or, if a secondary market exists, that the 2013 Bonds can or could be sold for any particular price.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE

Pursuant to a Continuing Disclosure Agreement, by and between the District and Keygent LLC, as dissemination agent (the “Continuing Disclosure Agreement”), the District will agree to provide, or cause to be provided, certain annual financial information and operating data concerning the District (the “Annual Report”) and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events (the “Listed Events”). The Annual Report will be filed by the Fiscal Agent as the Dissemination Agent with the Electronic Municipal Market Access System of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“EMMA”). Notices of Listed Events will be filed by the Dissemination Agent with EMMA. The specific nature of the information to be included in the Annual Reports and the notices of Listed Events is set forth in APPENDIX E—“FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.” This agreement will be entered into in order to assist the

40

Underwriter in complying with SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) (the “Rule”). The Annual Reports are to be filed by the District no later than February 15th of each year, beginning February 15, 2014.

The District has previously entered into an undertaking pursuant to the Rule with respect to the 2002 Bonds, the Subordinate 2008 Bonds and the 2012 Bonds, and the School District has entered into various undertakings with respect to the Rule. In May 2006, the School District executed and delivered its 2006 Certificates of Participation (the “2006 Certificates”). In January 2008, the School District executed and delivered its 2008 Refunding Certificates of Participation (the “2008 Certificates”). In Fiscal Year 2009-10, the School District did not timely file its audited financial statements as required with respect to the 2008 Certificates and 2006 Certificates. In fiscal years 2006-07 and 2007-08, complete annual reports for the District were filed less than a week late, and in fiscal year 2008-09, the School District’s audited financial statements were filed less than a week late. Other than as described in this Official Statement, neither the School District nor the District has failed to comply in all material respects with such undertakings in the last five years.

It should be noted that the District is required to file certain financial statements with the Annual Reports. This requirement has been included in the agreement solely to satisfy the provisions of the Rule. The inclusion of this information does not mean that the 2013 Bonds are secured by any resources or property of the District other than as described hereinabove. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2013 BONDS” and “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS.” It should also be noted that the list of significant events which the District has agreed to report includes three items which have absolutely no application whatsoever to the 2013 Bonds. These items have been included in the list solely to satisfy the requirements of the Rule. Thus, any implication from the inclusion of these items in the list to the contrary notwithstanding, there are no credit enhancements applicable to the 2013 Bonds and there are no credit or liquidity providers with respect to the 2013 Bonds.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, failure of the District to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an event of default under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. However, any holder of the 2013 Bonds may take such action as is necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or a judgment for specific performance, to cause the District to comply with its obligations with respect to the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.

LEGAL MATTERS

Underwriting

The 2013 Bonds are being purchased by Piper Jaffray & Co. (the “Underwriter”). The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the 2013 Bonds at a price of $4,192.076.30 (being $4,335,000.00 aggregate principal amount thereof, less Underwriter’s discount of $54,187.50 and less net original issue discount of $88,736.20). The purchase agreement relating to the 2013 Bonds provides that the Underwriter will purchase all of the 2013 Bonds if any are purchased. The obligation to make such purchase is subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in such purchase agreement, the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions.

The Underwriter may offer and sell the 2013 Bonds to certain dealers and others at prices lower than the offering prices stated on the inside cover page hereof. The offering prices may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter.

The Underwriter and Pershing LLC, a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) which enables Pershing LLC to distribute certain new issue municipal securities underwritten by or allocated to Piper Jaffray & Co., including the 2013 Bonds. Under the Agreement, Piper Jaffray & Co. will share with Pershing LLC a portion of the fee or commission paid to Piper Jaffray & Co.

41

The Underwriter has entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“CS&Co.”) for the retail distribution of certain securities offerings at the original issue prices. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, CS&Co. will purchase 2013 Bonds from the Underwriter at the original issue price less a negotiated portion of the selling concession applicable to any 2013 Bonds that CS&Co. sells.

Legal Opinion

The legal opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, San Francisco, California, approving the validity of the 2013 Bonds, in substantially the form set forth in Appendix F hereto, will be made available to purchasers of the 2013 Bonds at the time of original delivery. A copy of the legal opinion for the 2013 Bonds will be provided with each definitive bond. Bond Counsel has not undertaken on behalf of the Owners or the Beneficial Owners of the 2013 Bonds to review the Official Statement and assumes no responsibility to such Owners and Beneficial Owners for the accuracy of the information contained herein. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the District by Parker & Covert LLP, Tustin, California, and for the School District and the District by Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, San Francisco, California, Disclosure Counsel to the School District with respect to the issuance of the 2013 Bonds. Although it is serving as Bond Counsel and Disclosure Counsel to the District in connection with the issuance and sale of the 2013 Bonds, Bond Counsel represents the Underwriter in connection with other financings and matters unrelated to the 2013 Bonds.

Tax Exemption

In the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, San Francisco, California (“Bond Counsel”), under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, and assuming the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants and requirements described herein, interest on the 2013 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the 2013 Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax. Bond Counsel notes that, with respect to corporations, interest on the 2013 Bonds may be included as an adjustment in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income which may affect the alternative minimum tax liability of such corporations.

The difference between the issue price of a 2013 Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the 2013 Bonds of the same maturity is to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity with respect to such 2013 Bond constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a 2013 Bond Owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by the 2013 Bond Owner will increase the 2013 Bond Owner’s basis in the 2013 Bond. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the amount of original issue discount that accrues to the owner of a 2013 Bond is excluded from the gross income of such owner for federal income tax purposes, is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, and is exempt from State of California personal income tax.

Bond Counsel’s opinion as to the exclusion from gross income of interest (and original issue discount) on the 2013 Bonds is based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the School District and others and is subject to the condition that the District complies with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the 2013 Bonds to assure that interest (and original issue discount) on the 2013 Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause the interest (and original issue discount) on the 2013 Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the 2013 Bonds. The District has covenanted to comply with all such requirements.

42

The amount by which a 2013 Bond Owner’s original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange of a 2013 Bond (generally, the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes amortizable 2013 Bond premium, which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Code; such amortizable 2013 Bond premium reduces the 2013 Bond Owner’s basis in the applicable 2013 Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of 2013 Bond premium may result in a 2013 Bond Owner realizing a taxable gain when a 2013 Bond is sold by the Owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the 2013 Bond to the Owner. Purchasers of the 2013 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment, computation and collateral consequences of amortizable 2013 Bond premium.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has initiated an expanded program for the auditing of tax-exempt bond issues, including both random and targeted audits. It is possible that the 2013 Bonds will be selected for audit by the IRS. It is also possible that the market value of the 2013 Bonds might be affected as a result of such an audit of the 2013 Bonds (or by an audit of other similar bonds). It is also possible that the market value of the 2013 Bonds might be affected as a result of such an audit of the 2013 Bonds (or by an audit of similar bonds). No assurance can be given that, in the course of an audit, as a result of an audit, or otherwise, Congress or the IRS might not change the Code (or interpretation thereof) subsequent to the execution and delivery of the 2013 Bonds to the extent that it adversely affects the exclusion from gross income of interest on the 2013 Bonds or their market value.

Bond Counsel’s opinions may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the Closing Date. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, Whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. The Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Tax Certificate relating to the 2013 Bonds permit certain actions to be taken or to be omitted if a favorable opinion of Bond Counsel is provided with respect thereto. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income of interest (and original issue discount) on the 2013 Bonds for federal income tax purposes with respect to any 2013 Bond if any such action is taken or omitted based upon the advice of counsel other than Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation.

SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE 2013 BONDS, THERE MIGHT BE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL STATUTORY CHANGES (OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY INTERPRETATIONS OF FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW) THAT AFFECT THE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX TREATMENT OF THE 2013 BONDS OR THE MARKET VALUE OF THE 2013 BONDS. LEGISLATIVE CHANGES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED IN CONGRESS, WHICH, IF ENACTED, WOULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX BEING IMPOSED ON CERTAIN OWNERS OF TAX-EXEMPT STATE OR LOCAL OBLIGATIONS, SUCH AS THE 2013 BONDS. THE INTRODUCTION OR ENACTMENT OF ANY OF SUCH CHANGES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OR LIQUIDITY OF THE 2013 BONDS. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT, SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE 2013 BONDS, SUCH CHANGES (OR OTHER CHANGES) WILL NOT BE INTRODUCED OR ENACTED OR INTERPRETATIONS WILL NOT OCCUR. BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF THE 2013 BONDS, ALL POTENTIAL PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING POSSIBLE STATUTORY CHANGES OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES OR INTERPRETATIONS, AND THEIR COLLATERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE 2013 BONDS.

Although Bond Counsel has rendered an opinion that interest (and original issue discount) on the 2013 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes provided that the District continues to comply with certain requirements of the Code, the ownership of the 2013 Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest (and original issue discount) with respect to the 2013 Bonds may otherwise affect the tax liability of certain persons. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such tax consequences. Accordingly, before purchasing any of the 2013 Bonds, all potential purchasers should consult their tax advisors with respect to collateral tax consequences relating to the 2013 Bonds.

43

A copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is attached hereto as Appendix D.

Rating

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, has assigned its long-term rating of “BBB+” to the 2013 Bonds. Such rating reflects only the views of the rating agency, and any explanation of the significance of such rating must be obtained from the rating agency. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time, or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if in the judgment of the rating agency circumstances so warrant. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from Standard & Poor’s Corporation, 55 Water Street, 45th Floor, New York, New York 10041. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the 2013 Bonds. The District cannot predict the timing or impact of future actions by the rating agency.

No Litigation

A certificate of the District to the effect that no litigation is pending or threatened concerning the validity of the 2013 Bonds will be furnished to the Underwriter at the time of the original delivery of the 2013 Bonds. Neither the School District nor the District are aware of any litigation pending or threatened which questions the existence of the District or the School District or contests the authority of the District to levy and collect the Special Taxes or to issue the 2013 Bonds.

Additional Information

All of the preceding summaries of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, other applicable legislation, agreements and other documents are made subject to the provisions of such documents and do not purport to be complete documents of any or all of such provisions. Reference is hereby made to such documents on file with the School District for further information in connection therewith.

This Official Statement does not constitute a contract with the purchasers of the 2013 Bonds.

Any statements made in this Official Statement involving matters of opinion or of estimates, whether or not so expressly stated, are set forth as such and not as representations of fact, and no representation is made that any of the estimates will be realized.

The Board of Trustees of the Sulphur Springs Union School District has duly authorized the Superintendent to execute and deliver this Official Statement on behalf of the District.

SECTION E BACKUP ANNUAL SPECIAL TAXES

Each Fiscal Year, each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property shall be subject to a Backup Annual Special Tax. In each Fiscal Year, the Backup Annual Special Tax rate for Developed Property shall be the rate per Lot calculated according to the following formula:

Z x A B = ---------------------

L

The terms have the following meanings:

B = Backup Annual Special Tax per Lot for the applicable Fiscal Year Z = Assigned Annual Special Tax per acre of Acreage of Undeveloped Property

of the applicable Zone for the applicable Fiscal Year A = Acreage of Taxable Property of Developed Property expected to exist in the

applicable Final Map at build-out, as determined by the Board pursuant to Section J

L = Lots in the Final Map

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the Final Map(s) described in the preceding paragraph is subsequently changed or modified, then the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in such Final Map area that is changed or modified shall be a rate per square foot of Acreage calculated as follows:

1. Determine the total Backup Annual Special Taxes anticipated to apply to the changed or modified Final Map area prior to the change or modification.

A-7

2. The result of paragraph 1 above shall be divided by the Acreage of Taxable Property of Developed Property which is ultimately expected to exist in such changed or modified Final Map area, as reasonably determined by the Board.

3. The result of paragraph 2 above shall be divided by 43,560. The result is the Backup Annual Special Tax per square foot of Acreage which shall be applicable to Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property in such changed or modified Final Map area for all remaining Fiscal Years in which the Special Tax may be levied.

SECTION F METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX

Commencing Fiscal Year 2002-03 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the Board shall levy Annual Special Taxes in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, and Zone 5 as follows:

Step One: The Board shall levy an Annual Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, and Zone 5 in an amount equal to the Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel.

Step Two: If the sum of the amounts collected in step one is insufficient to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement, then the Board shall additionally levy an Annual Special Tax Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, and Zone 5 up to the Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement.

Step Three: If the sum of the amounts collected in steps one and two is insufficient to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement, then the Annual Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, and Zone 5 whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Annual Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Annual Special Tax up to the Backup Annual Special Tax to satisfy the Minimum Annual Special Tax Requirement.

SECTION G PREPAYMENT OF ANNUAL SPECIAL TAXES

The Annual Special Tax obligation of an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or an Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued may be prepaid in full, provided that there are no delinquent Special Taxes, penalties, or interest charges outstanding with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time the Annual Special Tax obligation would be prepaid. The Prepayment Amount for an Assessor’s Parcel eligible for prepayment shall be determined as described below.

1. Prior to Issuance of Bonds

Prior to the issuance of Bonds, the Prepayment Amount for each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property and each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued shall be the applicable Gross Prepayment Amount. The Gross Prepayment Amount for the period from May 1, 2001, to April 30, 2002, shall be determined by reference to Tables 7 through 11.

On each May 1, commencing May 1, 2002, the Gross Prepayment Amount for each Unit shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year.

2. Subsequent to Issuance of Bonds

Subsequent to the issuance of Bonds, the Prepayment Amount for each applicable Assessor’s Parcel shall be calculated according to the following formula (capitalized terms defined below):

Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus Defeasance plus Administrative Fee less Reserve Fund Credit equals Prepayment Amount

As of the date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows:

1. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, compute the sum of the Assigned Annual Special Taxes and the Backup Annual Special Taxes applicable to the Assessor’s Parcel. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property, compute the sum of the Assigned Annual Special Taxes and the Backup Annual Special Taxes applicable to the Assessor’s Parcel as

A-10

though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit issued for that Assessor’s Parcel.

2. For each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, (a) divide the sum of the Assigned Annual Special Taxes computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor’s Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Annual Special Taxes applicable to all Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property at build-out, as reasonably determined by the Board, and (b) divide the sum of Backup Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor’s Parcel by the sum of the estimated Backup Annual Special Taxes applicable to all Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property at build-out, as reasonably determined by the Board.

3. The amount determined pursuant to Section G.1. shall be (a) increased by the portion of the Bonds allocable to costs of issuance, reserve fund deposits, and capitalized interest with respect to the applicable Assessor’s Parcel and (b) reduced by the amount of regularly retired principal which is allocable to the applicable Assessor’s Parcel, as determined by the Board. The result is the “Outstanding Gross Prepayment Amount.” In no event shall any Annual Special Taxes determined to have been used to make a regularly scheduled principal payment on the Bonds be adjusted for any increase in any cost index or other basis subsequent to the date of the applicable principal payment.

4. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by the face value of all outstanding Bonds. If the product is greater than the Outstanding Gross Prepayment Amount, then the product shall be the “Bond Redemption Amount.” If the product is less than the Outstanding Gross Prepayment Amount, then the Outstanding Gross Prepayment Amount shall be the “Bond Redemption Amount.”

5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the “Redemption Premium.”

6. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and the Reserve Fund Credit (see step 10) to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the outstanding Bonds.

7 Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest call date for the outstanding Bonds.

8. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 6. This difference is the “Defeasance.”

9. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the “Administrative Fee.”

10. Calculate the “Reserve Fund Credit” as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, if any, associated with the redemption of outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirements in effect after the redemption of outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reserve fund requirement is satisfied by a surety bond or other instrument at

A-11

the time of the prepayment, then no Reserve Fund Credit shall be given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than 0.

11. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit.

With respect to an Annual Special Tax obligation that is prepaid pursuant to this Section G, the Board shall indicate in the records of CFD No. 2002-1 that there has been a prepayment of the Annual Special Tax obligation and shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty (30) days of receipt of such prepayment to indicate the prepayment of the Annual Special Tax obligation and the release of the Annual Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay such Annual Special Taxes shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all currently outstanding Bonds in each future Fiscal Year, as reasonably determined by the Board.

SECTION H PARTIAL PREPAYMENT OF ANNUAL SPECIAL TAXES

The Annual Special Tax obligation of an Assessor’s Parcel, as calculated in Section H.2. below, may be partially prepaid at the times and under the conditions set forth in this section, provided that there are no delinquent Special Taxes, penalties, or interest charges outstanding with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time the Annual Special Tax obligation would be prepaid.

1. Partial Prepayment Times and Conditions

Prior to the issuance of the first Building Permit for the construction of a production Unit on a Lot within a Final Map area, the owner of no less than all the Taxable Property within such Final Map area may elect in writing to the Board to prepay a portion of the Annual Special Tax obligations for all the Assessor’s Parcels within such Final Map area, as calculated in Section H.2. below. The partial prepayment of each Annual Special Tax obligation shall be collected prior to the issuance of the first Building Permit with respect to each Assessor’s Parcel.

2. Partial Prepayment Amount

The Partial Prepayment Amount shall be calculated according to the following formula:

PP = PG x F

The terms have the following meanings:

PP = the Partial Prepayment Amount PG = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel is partially prepaying the

Annual Special Tax obligation.

3. Partial Prepayment Procedures and Limitations

With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the Board shall indicate in the records of CFD No. 2002-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Annual Special Tax obligation and

A-12

shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty (30) days of receipt of such partial prepayment of the Annual Special Tax obligation, to indicate the partial prepayment of the Annual Special Tax obligation and the partial release of the Annual Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay such prepaid portion of the Annual Special Tax shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property after such partial prepayment, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.l times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all currently outstanding Bonds in each future Fiscal Year.

SECTION I TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX

Annual Special Taxes shall be levied for a period of thirty (30) Fiscal Years after the last series of Bonds has been issued, as determined by the Board, provided that Annual Special Taxes shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2039-40.

SECTION J EXEMPTIONS

The Board shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels owned by the State of California, Federal or other local governments, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels used exclusively by a homeowners’ association, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, (v) Assessor’s Parcels developed or expected to be developed exclusively for non-residential use, as reasonably determined by the Board, and (vi) any other Assessor’s Parcels at the reasonable discretion of the Board, provided that no such classification would reduce the Acreage of Taxable Property in such Zone to less than the Minimum Taxable Acreage as set forth in Table 12. Notwithstanding the above, the Board shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the Acreage of Taxable Property in such Zone to less than the Minimum Taxable Acreage as set forth in Table 12. Assessor’s Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of Taxable Property in such Zone to less than the Minimum Taxable Acreage will continue to be classified as Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, as applicable, and will continue to be subject to Special Taxes accordingly.

SECTION K APPEALS

Any property owner claiming that the amount or application of the Special Tax is not correct may file a written notice of appeal with the Board not later than twelve months after having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed. A representative(s) of CFD No. 2002-1 shall promptly review the appeal, and if necessary, meet with the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the Special Tax, and rule on the appeal. If the representative’s decision requires that the Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, a cash refund shall not be made (except for the last year of levy), but an adjustment shall be made to the Annual Special Tax on that Assessor’s Parcel in the subsequent Fiscal Year(s).

SECTION L MANNER OF COLLECTION

The Annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2002-1 may collect Annual Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations.

Ad Valorem Property Taxation

City taxes are assessed and collected by Los Angeles County at the same time and on the same rolls as are County, school and special district taxes.

State law exempts $7,000 of the full cash value of an owner-occupied dwelling, but this exemption does not result in any loss of revenue to Local agencies, since the State reimburses local agencies for the value of the exemptions.

Tax Levies, Collections and Delinquencies

Taxes are levied by the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County for each fiscal year on taxable real and personal property situated in the City. For assessment and collection purposes, property is classified as either “secured” or “unsecured” and is listed accordingly on separate parts of the assessment roll. The “secured roll” is that part of the assessment roll containing State-assessed property and real property having a tax lien which is sufficient, in the opinion of the assessor, to secure payment of the taxes. Other property is assessed on the “unsecured roll.”

Property taxes on the secured roll are due in two installments, on November 1st and February 1st of the fiscal year. If unpaid, such taxes become delinquent on December 10th and April 10th, respectively, and a ten percent penalty attaches to any delinquent payment. In addition, property on the secured roll with respect to which taxes are delinquent has a delinquency certificate recorded after June 30th of the fiscal year. Such property may thereafter be redeemed by payment of the delinquent taxes and the delinquency penalty, plus a redemption penalty of 1½% per month to the time of redemption. If taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is deeded to the State and then is subject to sale by the County Tax Collector.

Property taxes on the unsecured roll are due as of January 1st and become delinquent, if unpaid, on August 31st. A ten percent penalty attaches to delinquent taxes on property on the unsecured roll, and an additional penalty of 1½% per month begins to accrue beginning November 1st of the fiscal year. The taxing authority has four ways of collecting unsecured personal property taxes: (1) a civil action against the taxpayer; (2) filing a certificate in the office of the County Clerk specifying certain facts in order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for record in the County Recorder’s Office in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the taxpayer; and (4) seizure and sale of personal property, improvements or possessory interests belonging or assessed to the assessee.

Beginning in 1978/79, Proposition 13 and its implementing legislation provided for each county to levy (except for levies to support prior voter-approved indebtedness) and collect all property taxes, and prescribed how levies on county-wide property values are to be shared with local taxing entities within each county. The secured tax charges and year-end delinquencies for fiscal years 2006-07 through 2011-12 are reflected on the following table:

The District may, but is not obligated to, advance funds from any source of legally available funds in order to maintain the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund at the Reserve Requirement.

The District covenants that it will deposit the proceeds of any foreclosure which constitute Gross Taxes in the Special Tax Fund.

Payment of Claims. The District will pay and discharge any and all lawful claims for labor, materials or supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon the Net Taxes or; other funds in the Special Tax Fund (other than the Administrative Expense Account), or which might impair the security of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds then Outstanding; provided that nothing in the Fiscal Agent Agreement contained shall require the District to make any such payments so long as the District in good faith shall contest the validity of any such claims.

Books and Accounts. The District will keep proper books of records and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the District, in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the levy of the Special Tax and the deposits to the Special Tax Fund. Such books of

C-16

records and accounts shall at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Fiscal Agent or of the Owners of the Bonds or Parity Bonds then Outstanding or their representatives authorized in writing.

Federal Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes will not be adversely affected for federal income tax purposes, the District covenants to comply with all applicable requirements of the Code necessary to preserve such exclusion from gross income and specifically covenants, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as follows:

(1) Private Activity. The District will take no action or refrain from taking any action or make any use of the proceeds of the Bonds or of any other moneys or property which would cause the Bonds and any Parity Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code;

(2) Arbitrage. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds 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 to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code;

(3) Federal Guaranty. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code;

(4) Information Reporting. The District will take or cause to be taken all necessary action to comply with the informational reporting requirement of Section 149(e) of the Code;

(5) Hedge Bonds. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds 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 or any Parity Bonds to be considered “hedge bonds” within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code unless the District takes all necessary action to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 149(g) of the Code to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds and any applicable Parity Bonds;

(6) Miscellaneous. The District will take no action or refrain from taking any action inconsistent with the expectations stated in the Tax Certificate in connection with the Bonds and any issue of Parity Bonds and will comply with the covenants and requirements stated therein and incorporated by reference in the Fiscal Agent Agreement; and

(7) Other Tax Exempt Issues. The District will not use proceeds of other tax exempt securities to redeem any Bonds without first obtaining the written opinion of Bond Counsel that doing so will not impair the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis.

Reduction of Maximum Special Taxes. The District finds and determines that, historically, delinquencies in the payment of special taxes authorized pursuant to the Act in community facilities districts in Southern California have from time to time been at levels requiring the levy of special taxes at the maximum authorized rates in order to make timely payment of principal of and interest on the outstanding indebtedness of such community facilities districts. For this reason, the District determines that a reduction in the maximum Special Tax rates authorized to be levied on parcels in the District below the levels provided in under the heading “Reduction of Maximum Special Taxes” would interfere with the timely retirement of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds. The District determines it to be necessary in order to preserve the security for the Bonds and any Parity Bonds to covenant, and, to the maximum extent that the law permits it to do so, the District does

C-17

covenant, that it shall not initiate proceedings to reduce the maximum Special Tax rates for the District, unless, in connection therewith, (i) the District receives a certificate from one or more Independent Financial Consultants which, when taken together, certify that, on the basis of the parcels of land and improvements existing in the District as of the July 1 preceding the reduction, the maximum amount of the Special Tax which may be levied on then existing Developed Property (as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes then in effect in the District) in each Bond Year for any Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding will equal at least 110% of the sum on the estimated Administrative Expenses and gross debt service in that Bond Year on all Bonds and Parity Bonds to remain Outstanding after the reduction is approved and (ii) such reduction in the maximum Special Tax rates is permitted under the Subordinate 2008 Fiscal Agent Agreement if any Subordinate 2008 Bonds remain outstanding. The District finds that any reduction made under such conditions will not adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds and Parity Bonds. For purposes of estimating Administrative Expenses for the foregoing calculation, the Independent Financial Consultant shall compute the Administrative Expenses for the current Fiscal Year and escalate that amount by two percent (2%) in each subsequent Fiscal Year.

Covenants to Defend. The District covenants that in the event that any initiative is adopted by the qualified electors in the District which purports to reduce the maximum Special Tax below the levels specified under the heading “Reduction of Maximum Special Taxes” above or to limit the power of the District to levy the Special Taxes for the purposes set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, it will commence and pursue legal action in order to preserve its ability to comply with such covenants.

Limitation on Right to Tender Bonds. The District covenants that it will not adopt any policy pursuant to Section 53341.1 of the Act permitting the tender of Bonds or Parity Bonds to the District in full payment or partial payment of any Special Taxes.

Continuing Disclosure. The District covenants to comply with the term of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement executed by it with respect to the Bonds.

Further Assurances. The District shall make, execute and deliver any and all such further agreements, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds of the rights and benefits provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

Opinions. In the event that an opinion is rendered by Bond Counsel as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement from a firm other than the firm which rendered the Bond Counsel opinion at closing, such subsequent opinion by Bond Counsel shall also include the conclusions set forth in the original Bond Counsel opinion relating to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

AMENDMENTS TO FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT

Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements or Orders Not Requiring Bondowner Consent. The District may from time to time, and at any time, without notice to or consent of any of the Bondowners, adopt Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements for any of the following purposes:

to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in the Fiscal Agent Agreement which may be inconsistent with any other provision in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or to make any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under the Fiscal Agent Agreement or in any additional resolution or order, provided that such action is not materially adverse to the interests of the Bondowners;

to add to the covenants and agreements of and the limitations and the restrictions upon the District contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, other covenants, agreements, limitations and

C-18

restrictions to be observed by the District which are not contrary to or inconsistent with the Fiscal Agent Agreement as theretofore in effect or which further secure Bond or Parity Bond payments;

to provide for the issuance of any Parity Bonds, and to provide the terms and conditions under which such Parity Bonds may be issued, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement;

to modify, amend or supplement the Fiscal Agent Agreement in such manner as to permit the qualification of the Fiscal Agent Agreement under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or any similar federal statute in effect after the date of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or to comply with the Code or regulations issued thereunder, and to add such other terms, conditions and provisions as may be permitted by said act or similar federal statute, and which shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds then Outstanding; or

to modify, alter or amend the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Taxes in any manner so long as such changes do not reduce the maximum Special Taxes that may be levied in each year on property within the District to an amount which is less than that permitted under of the Fiscal Agent Agreement described under the heading “Reduction of Maximum Special Taxes”; or

to modify, alter, amend or supplement the Fiscal Agent Agreement in any other respect which is not materially adverse to the Bondowners.

Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements or Orders Requiring Bondowner Consent. Exclusive of the Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements described above, the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding shall have the right to consent to and approve the adoption by the District of such Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by the District for the purpose of waiving, modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall permit, or be construed as permitting, (a) an extension of the maturity date of the principal, or the payment date of interest on, any Bond or Parity Bond, (b) a reduction in the principal amount of, or redemption premium on, any Bond or Parity Bond or the rate of interest thereon, (c) a preference or priority of any Bond or Parity Bond over any other Bond or Parity Bond, or (d) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds the Owners of which are required to consent to such Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, without the consent of the Owners of all Bonds and Parity Bonds then Outstanding.

If at any time the District shall desire to adopt a Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, which pursuant to the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall require the consent of the Bondowners, the District shall so notify the Fiscal Agent and shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a copy of the proposed Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall, at the expense of the District, cause notice of the proposed Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all Bondowners at their addresses as they appear in the Bond Register. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the office of the Fiscal Agent for inspection by all Bondowners. The failure of any Bondowners to receive such notice shall not affect the validity of such Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement when consented to and approved by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding as required by the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Whenever at any time within one year after the date of the first mailing of such notice, the Fiscal Agent shall receive an instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement described in such notice, and shall specifically consent to and approve the adoption thereof by the District substantially in the form of the copy referred to in such notice as on file with the Fiscal Agent, such proposed Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, when duly adopted by the District, shall thereafter become a part of the proceedings for the

C-19

issuance of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds. In determining whether the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds have consented to the adoption of any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, Bonds or Parity Bonds which are owned by the District or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under the direct or indirect common control with the District shall be disregarded and shall be treated as though they were not Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Upon the adoption of any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement and the receipt of consent to any such Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement from the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds in instances where such consent is required pursuant to the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be, and shall be deemed to be, modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under the Fiscal Agent Agreement of the District and all Owners of Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments.

Notation of Bonds or Parity Bonds; Delivery of Amended Bonds or Parity Bonds. After the effective date of any action taken as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the District may determine that the Bonds or any Parity Bonds may bear a notation, by endorsement in form approved by the District, as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond at such effective date and presentation of his Bond or Parity Bond for the purpose at the office of the Fiscal Agent or at such additional offices as the Fiscal Agent may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Bonds or Parity Bonds. If the District shall so determine, new Bonds or Parity Bonds so modified as, in the opinion of the District, shall be necessary to conform to such action shall be prepared and executed, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond at such effective date such new Bonds or Parity Bonds shall be exchanged at the office of the Fiscal Agent or at such additional offices as the Fiscal Agent may select and designate for that purpose, without cost to each Owner of Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds, upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds.

FISCAL AGENT

Fiscal Agent. U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association shall be the Fiscal Agent for the Bonds and any Parity Bonds unless and until another Fiscal Agent is appointed by the District under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The District may, at any time, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, appoint a successor Fiscal Agent satisfying the requirements described under the heading “Removal of Fiscal Agent” below for the purpose of receiving all money which the District is required to deposit with the Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agent Agreement and to allocate, use and apply the same as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

The Fiscal Agent is authorized to and shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, or wire transfer in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, interest payments to the Bondowners, to select Bonds and Parity Bonds for redemption, and to maintain the Bond Register. The Fiscal Agent is authorized to pay the principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds and Parity Bonds when the same are duly presented to it for payment at maturity or on call and redemption, to provide for the registration of transfer and exchange of Bonds and Parity Bonds presented to it for such purposes, to provide for the cancellation of Bonds and Parity Bonds all as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and to provide for the authentication of Bonds and Parity Bonds, and shall perform all other duties assigned to or imposed on it as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement; provided, however, that the Fiscal Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and no duties of the Fiscal Agent shall be implied under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Discretionary rights of the Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall not be construed as duties. The Fiscal Agent may execute any of the powers under the Fiscal Agent Agreement or perform any duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Fiscal Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed

C-20

by it with due care under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall keep accurate records of all funds administered by it and all Bonds and Parity Bonds paid, discharged and cancelled by it. The Fiscal Agent may establish such funds and accounts as it deems necessary to perform its obligations under the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

The Fiscal Agent is authorized to redeem the Bonds and Parity Bonds when duly presented for payment at maturity, or on redemption prior to maturity. The Fiscal Agent shall cancel all Bonds and Parity Bonds upon payment thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement described under the heading “Cancellation of Bonds and Parity Bonds.”

Removal of Fiscal Agent. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the District may at any time at its sole discretion remove the Fiscal Agent initially appointed, and any successor thereto, by delivering to the Fiscal Agent a written notice of its decision to remove the Fiscal Agent and may appoint a successor or successors thereto; provided that any such successor, other than the Fiscal Agent, shall be a bank or trust company having (or if such bank or trust company is a member of a bank holding company system its bank holding company has) a combined capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. Any removal shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Fiscal Agent. If any bank or trust company appointed as a successor publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purposes of this paragraph the combined capital and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Any removal of the Fiscal Agent and appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Fiscal Agent and notice being sent by the successor Fiscal Agent to the Bondowners of the successor Fiscal Agent’s identity and address.

Resignation of Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the District and by giving to the Owners notice of such resignation, which notice shall be mailed to the Owners at their addresses appearing in the registration books in the office of the Fiscal Agent. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the District shall promptly appoint a successor Fiscal Agent satisfying the criteria in the Fiscal Agent Agreement by an instrument in writing. Any resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent and appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Fiscal Agent provided, however, that in the event the District does not appoint a successor Fiscal Agent within 30 days following receipt of such notice of resignation, the resigning Fiscal Agent may, at the expense of the District, petition the appropriate court having jurisdiction to appoint a successor Fiscal Agent.

Compensation and Liability of Fiscal Agent. The District shall from time to time, subject to any agreement between the District and the Fiscal Agent then in force, pay to the Fiscal Agent compensation for its services, reimburse the Fiscal Agent for all its advances and expenditures, including, but not limited to, advances to and reasonable fees and expenses of independent accountants and counsel and agents employed by it in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The District agrees to indemnify the Fiscal Agent, including its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, claim, liability or expense incurred which does not arise from its own negligence or willful misconduct, arising out of or in connection with the administration of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any error in judgment made in good faith by a reasonable officer, unless it shall be proved that the Fiscal Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement relating to the conduct of or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Fiscal Agent (acting in its capacity as Fiscal Agent or in its capacity as Dissemination Agent), its officers, directors, employees and agents, shall be subject to the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement described under the heading “Compensation and Liability of Fiscal Agent.”

C-21

The recitals of fact and all promises, covenants and agreements contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and in the Bonds and any Parity Bonds and any offering documents pertaining to the Bonds shall be taken as statements, promises, covenants and agreements of the District, and the Fiscal Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same and makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Bonds or any Parity Bonds, and shall incur no responsibility in respect thereof, other than in connection with its duties or obligations specifically set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, in the Bonds and any Parity Bonds, or in the certificate of authentication assigned to or imposed upon the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall be under no responsibility or duty with respect to the issuance of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds for value.

The Fiscal Agent shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, Bond, Parity Bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Fiscal Agent may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the District, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered under the Fiscal Agent Agreement in good faith and in accordance therewith.

The Fiscal Agent shall not be bound to recognize any person as the Owner of a Bond or Parity Bond unless and until such Bond or Parity Bond is submitted for inspection, if required, and his title thereto satisfactorily established, if disputed. The Fiscal Agent may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds, and may otherwise deal with the District with the same rights it would have if it were not the Fiscal Agent.

Whenever in the administration of its duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement the Fiscal Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be in the Fiscal Agent Agreement specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Fiscal Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a written certificate of the District, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Fiscal Agent for any action taken or suffered under the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Fiscal Agent may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.

The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to enforce the collection of Special Taxes or other funds to be deposited with it under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or as to the correctness of any amounts received, but its liability shall be limited to the proper accounting for such funds as it shall actually receive. No provision in the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall require the Fiscal Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or in the exercise of its rights or powers.

All rights and indemnities of the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall survive the removal or resignation of the Fiscal Agent, the discharge of the Bonds, or the amendment or assignment of the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

Merger or Consolidation. Any company into which the Fiscal Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which the Fiscal Agent may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, shall be the successor to the Fiscal Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or further act, anything in the Fiscal Agent Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.

C-22

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Events of Default. Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “event of default”:

Default in the due and punctual payment of the principal of or redemption premium, if any, on any Bond or Parity Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by declaration or otherwise;

Default in the due and punctual payment of the interest on any Bond or Parity Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable; or

Except as described above, default shall be made by the District in the observance of any of the agreements, conditions or covenants on its part contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Bonds or any Parity Bonds, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days after the District shall have been given notice in writing of such default by the Fiscal Agent or the Owners of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds.

The District agrees to give notice to the Fiscal Agent immediately upon the occurrence of an event of default described in the first two paragraphs above and within 30 days of the District’s knowledge of an event of default described in the third paragraph above. The Fiscal Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event of default described in the third paragraph above unless a responsible officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or the Fiscal Agent shall have received written notice at its Principal Office.

Remedies of Owners. Following the occurrence of an event of default, any Owner shall have the right for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners similarly situated:

By mandamus or other suit or proceeding at law or in equity to enforce his rights against the District and any of the members, officers and employees of the District, and to compel the District or any such members, officers or employees to perform and carry out their duties under the Act and their agreements with the Owners as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement;

By suit in equity to enjoin any actions or things which are unlawful or violate the rights of the Owners; or

By a suit in equity to require the District and its members, officers and employees to account as the fiscal agent of an express trust.

Nothing in described under the heading “Remedies of Owners” or in any other provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Bonds or any Parity Bonds shall affect or impair the obligation of the District, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the interest on and principal of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds to the respective Owners thereof at the respective dates of maturity, as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, out of the Net Taxes and other amounts pledged for such payment, or affect or impair the right of action, which is also absolute and unconditional, of such Owners to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the Bonds or any Parity Bonds and in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by any Owner shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract, or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission by any Owner to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy conferred upon the Owners by the Act or by the Fiscal Agent Agreement may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Owners.

C-23

If any suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy is abandoned or determined adversely to the Owners, the District and the Owners shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been brought or taken.

No remedy in the Fiscal Agent Agreement conferred upon or reserved to the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the Fiscal Agent Agreement or now or existing after the date of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by the Act or any other law.

In case the moneys held by the Fiscal Agent after an event of default pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so owing and unpaid upon the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds, then all available amounts shall be applied to the payment of such principal and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and interest.

DEFEASANCE AND PARITY BONDS

Defeasance. If the District shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, to the Owner of an Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond the interest due thereon and the principal thereof, at the times and in the manner stipulated in the Fiscal Agent Agreement or any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, then the Owner of such Bond or Parity Bond shall cease to be entitled to the pledge of Net Taxes, and, other than as set forth below, all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the District to the Owner of such Bond or Parity Bond under the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement relating to such Parity Bond shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In the event of a defeasance of all Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Fiscal Agent shall execute and deliver to the District all such instruments as may be desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and the Fiscal Agent shall pay over or deliver to the District’s general fund all money or securities held by it pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement which are not required for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on such Bonds and Parity Bonds.

Any Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning expressed in the paragraph above if such Bond or Parity Bond is paid in any one or more of the following ways:

by paying or causing to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond or Parity Bond, as and when the same become due and payable;

by depositing with the Fiscal Agent, in trust, at or before maturity, money which, together with the amounts then on deposit in the Special Tax Fund (exclusive of the Administrative Expense Account) and available for such purpose, is fully sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond or Parity Bond, as and when the same shall become due and payable; or

by depositing with the Fiscal Agent or another escrow bank appointed by the District, in trust, noncallable Defeasance Securities, in which the District may lawfully invest its money, in such amount as will be sufficient, together with the interest to accrue thereon and moneys then on deposit in the Special Tax Fund (exclusive of the Administrative Expense Account) and available for such purpose, together with the interest to accrue thereon, to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond or Parity Bond, as and when the same shall become due and payable;

then, at the election of the District, and notwithstanding that any Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds shall not have been surrendered for payment, all obligations of the District under the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement with respect to such Bond or Parity Bond shall cease and terminate,

C-24

except for the obligation of the Fiscal Agent to pay or cause to be paid to the Owners of any such Bond or Parity Bond not so surrendered and paid, all sums due thereon and except for the covenants of the District contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement or any covenants in a Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement relating to compliance with the Code. Notice of such election shall be filed with the Fiscal Agent not less than ten days prior to the proposed defeasance date, or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Fiscal Agent. In connection with a defeasance under (b) or (c) above, there shall be provided to the District a verification report from an independent nationally recognized certified public accountant stating its opinion as to the sufficiency of the moneys or securities deposited with the Fiscal Agent or the escrow bank to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds to be defeased in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and an opinion of Bond Counsel (which may rely upon the opinion of the certified public accountant) to the effect that the Bonds or Parity Bonds being defeased have been legally defeased in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any applicable Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement. If a forward supply contract is employed in connection with an advance refunding to be effected under (c) above, (i) such verification report shall expressly state that the adequacy of the amounts deposited with the bank under (c) above to accomplish the refunding relies solely on the initial escrowed investments and the maturity principal thereof and interest income thereon and does not assume performance under or compliance with the forward supply contract, and (ii) the applicable escrow agreement executed to effect an advance refunding in accordance with (c) above shall provide that, in the event of any discrepancy or difference between the terms of the forward supply contract and the escrow agreement, the terms of the escrow agreement shall be controlling.

Upon a defeasance, the Fiscal Agent, upon request of the District, shall release the rights of the Owners of such Bonds and Parity Bonds which have been defeased under the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement and execute and deliver to the District all such instruments as may be desirable to evidence such release, discharge and satisfaction. In the case of a defeasance under the Fiscal Agent Agreement of all Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds, the Fiscal Agent shall pay over or deliver to the District any funds held by the Fiscal Agent at the time of a defeasance, which are not required for the purpose of paying and discharging the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds and Parity Bonds when due. The Fiscal Agent shall, at the written direction of the District, mail, first class, postage prepaid, a notice to the Bondowners whose Bonds or Parity Bonds have been defeased, in the form directed by the District, stating that the defeasance has occurred.

Conditions for the Issuance of Parity Bonds and Other Additional Indebtedness. The District may at any time after the issuance and delivery of the Bonds under the Fiscal Agent Agreement issue Parity Bonds payable from the Net Taxes and other amounts deposited in the Special Tax Fund (other than in the Administrative Expense Account therein) and secured by a lien and charge upon such amounts equal to the lien and charge securing the Outstanding Bonds and any other Parity Bonds theretofore issued under the Fiscal Agent Agreement or under any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement. Parity Bonds may be issued subject to the following additional specific conditions, which are made conditions precedent to the issuance of any such Parity Bonds:

The District shall be in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement then in effect and a certificate of the District to that effect shall have been filed with the Fiscal Agent; provided, however, that Parity Bonds may be issued notwithstanding that the District is not in compliance with all such covenants so long as immediately following the issuance of such Parity Bonds the District will be in compliance with all such covenants.

The issuance of such Parity Bonds shall have been duly authorized pursuant to the Act and all applicable laws, and the issuance of such Parity Bonds shall have been provided for by a Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement duly adopted by the District which shall specify the following:

(1) The purpose for which such Parity Bonds are to be issued and the fund or funds into which the proceeds thereof are to be deposited;

C-25

(2) The authorized principal amount of such Parity Bonds;

(3) The date and the maturity date or dates of such Parity Bonds; provided that (i) each maturity date shall fall on an September 1, (ii) all such Parity Bonds of like maturity shall be identical in all respects, except as to number, and (iii) fixed serial maturities or Sinking Fund Payments, or any combination thereof, shall be established to provide for the retirement of all such Parity Bonds on or before their respective maturity dates;

(8) The form of such Parity Bonds; and

(9) Such other provisions as are necessary or appropriate and not inconsistent with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

The District shall have received the following documents or money or securities, all of such documents dated or certified, as the case may be, as of the date of delivery of such Parity Bonds by the Fiscal Agent (unless the Fiscal Agent shall accept any of such documents bearing a prior date):

(1) A certified copy of the Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement authorizing the issuance of such Parity Bonds;

(2) A Written Request of the District as to the delivery of such Parity Bonds;

(3) An opinion of Bond Counsel and/or general counsel to the District to the effect that (a) the District has the right and power under the Act to adopt the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements relating to such Parity Bonds, and the Fiscal Agent Agreement and all such Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements have been duly and lawfully adopted by the District, are in full force and effect and are valid and binding upon the District and enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights); (b) the Fiscal Agent Agreement creates the valid pledge which it purports to create of the Net Taxes and other amounts as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, subject to the application thereof to the purposes and on the conditions permitted by the Fiscal Agent Agreement; and (c) such Parity Bonds are valid and binding limited obligations of the District, enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights) and the terms of `this Fiscal Agent Agreement and all Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements thereto and entitled to the benefits of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and all such Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements, and such Parity Bonds have been duly and validly authorized and issued in accordance with the Act (or other applicable laws) and the Fiscal Agent Agreement and all such Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreements; and a further opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that, assuming compliance by the District with certain tax covenants, the issuance of the Parity Bonds will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds theretofore issued on a tax-exempt

C-26

basis, or the exemption from State of California personal income taxation of interest on any Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds theretofore issued;

(4) A certificate of the District containing such statements as may be reasonably necessary to show compliance with the requirements of the Fiscal Agent Agreement;

(5) A certificate from one or more Independent Financial Consultants which, when taken together, certify that (i) the amount of the Special Taxes that may be levied by the District pursuant to the Act and the applicable resolutions and ordinances of the District in each subsequent Fiscal Year on then existing Developed Property (as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes then in effect in the District) shall produce Net Taxes at least 1.10 times the Administrative Expense Requirement plus the corresponding Annual Debt Service for each remaining Bond Year on all Outstanding Bonds theretofore issued and the Parity Bonds proposed to be issued, and (ii) the value of all parcels of real property in the District subject to the levy of the Special Tax and not delinquent in the payment of any Special Taxes due and owing, as determined based on an appraisal performed on a basis generally consistent with the appraisal conducted in connection with the issuance of the Bonds or based on assessed value, is at least ten (10) times the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds and Parity Bonds then Outstanding, plus (b) the aggregate principal amount of the series of Parity Bonds proposed to be issued, plus (c) the aggregate principal amount of any fixed assessment liens on the parcels in the District subject to the levy of Special Taxes, plus (d) a portion of the aggregate principal amount of any and all other community facilities district bonds then outstanding and payable at least partially from special taxes to be levied on parcels of property within the District (the “Other CFD Bonds”) equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Other CFD Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of special taxes levied for the Other CFD Bonds on parcels of property within the District, and the denominator of which is the total amount of special taxes levied for the Other CFD Bonds on all parcels of property which are subject to the levy of such special taxes are levied to pay the Other CFD Bonds (such fraction to be determined based upon the maximum special taxes which could be levied in the year in which maximum annual debt service on the Other CFD Bonds occurs), based upon information which is available for the then current Fiscal Year. For purposes of making the certifications required by this paragraph, the Independent Financial Consultants may rely on reports or certificates of such other persons as may be acceptable to the District, the School District, Bond Counsel and the Underwriter of the proposed Parity Bonds; however, if the Parity Bonds proposed to be issued are being issued to refund other outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds, the condition precedent of described in this paragraph may be satisfied with a certificate of an Independent Financial Consultant certifying that in each Bond Year the Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and Parity Bonds to remain Outstanding following the issuance of the Parity Bonds proposed to be issued is less than the Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding prior to the issuance of such Parity Bonds; and

(6) Such further documents, money and securities as are required by the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement providing for the issuance of such Parity Bonds.

In addition to the above requirements in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, Parity Bonds shall not be issued under the Fiscal Agent Agreement unless the requirements for such issuance set forth in the Subordinate 2008 Fiscal Agent Agreement shall have been satisfied; provided, however, that nothing in the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall prevent the District from issuing or incurring indebtedness which is payable from a pledge of Net Taxes which is subordinate in all respects to the pledge of Net Taxes to repay the Bonds, the Parity Bonds and the Subordinate 2008 Bonds.

C-27

MISCELLANEOUS

Cancellation of Bonds and Parity Bonds. All Bonds and Parity Bonds surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for payment upon maturity or for redemption shall be upon payment therefor, and any Bond or Parity Bond purchased by the District as authorized in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and delivered to the Fiscal Agent for such purpose shall be, cancelled forthwith and shall not be reissued. The Fiscal Agent shall destroy such Bonds and Parity Bonds, as provided by law, and, upon request of the District, furnish to the District a certificate of such destruction.

Execution of Documents and Proof of Ownership. Any request, direction, consent, revocation of consent, or other instrument in writing required or permitted by the Fiscal Agent Agreement to be signed or executed by Bondowners may be in any number of concurrent instruments of similar tenor may be signed or executed by such Owners in person or by their attorneys appointed by an instrument in writing for that purpose, or by the bank, trust company or other depository for such Bonds. Proof of the execution of any such instrument, or of any instrument appointing any such attorney, and of the ownership of Bonds or Parity Bonds shall be sufficient for the purposes of the Fiscal Agent Agreement (except as otherwise provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement), if made in the following manner:

The fact and date of the execution by any Owner or his or her attorney of any such instrument and of any instrument appointing any such attorney, may be proved by a signature guarantee of any bank or trust company or other eligible guarantor located within the United States of America. Where any such instrument is executed by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such signature guarantee shall also constitute sufficient proof of his Authority.

As to any Bond or Parity Bond, the person in whose name the same shall be registered in the Bond Register shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the principal of any such Bond or Parity Bond, and the interest thereon, shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered Owner thereof or his or her legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond or Parity Bond and the interest thereon to the extent of the sum or sums to be paid. Neither the District nor the Fiscal Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Nothing contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Fiscal Agent or the District to such proof, it being intended that the Fiscal Agent or the District may accept any other evidence of the matters in the Fiscal Agent Agreement stated which the Fiscal Agent or the District may deem sufficient. Any request or consent of the Owner of any Bond or Parity Bond shall bind every future Owner of the same Bond or Parity Bond in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Fiscal Agent or the District in pursuance of such request or consent.

Unclaimed Moneys. To the extent permitted by law, anything in the Fiscal Agent Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any money held by the Fiscal Agent in trust for the payment and discharge of any of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds which remain unclaimed for a period ending at the earlier of two Business Days prior to the date such funds would escheat to the State or two years after the date when such Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds have become due and payable, if such money was held by the Fiscal Agent at such date, or for a period ending at the earlier of two Business Days prior to the date such funds would escheat to the State or two years after the date of deposit of such money if deposited with the Fiscal Agent after the date when such Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds become due and payable, shall be repaid by the Fiscal Agent to the District, as its absolute property and free from trust, and the Fiscal Agent shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto and the Owners shall look only to the District for the payment of such Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds; provided, however, that, before being required to make any such payment to the District, the Fiscal Agent at the written request of the District or the Fiscal Agent shall, at the expense of the District, cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered Owners of

C-28

such Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds at their addresses as they appear on the registration books of the Fiscal Agent a notice that said money remains unclaimed and that, after a date named in said notice, which date shall not be less than 30 days after the date of the mailing of such notice, the balance of such money then unclaimed will be returned to the District. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable to the District or any Owner for interest on uninvested funds held by it for the payment and discharge of the principal, premium or interest on any of the Bonds to any Owner.

Provisions Constitute Contract. The provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall constitute a contract between the District and the Bondowners and the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

In case any suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy shall be brought or taken and, should said suit, action or proceeding be abandoned, or be determined adversely to the Bondowners or the Fiscal Agent, then the District, the Fiscal Agent and the Bondowners shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been brought or taken.

After the issuance and delivery of the Bonds the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be irrepealable, but shall be subject to modifications to the extent and in the manner provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, but to no greater extent and in no other manner.

Future Contracts. Nothing in the Fiscal Agent Agreement contained shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the District from making contracts or creating bonded or other indebtedness payable from a pledge of the Gross Taxes which is subordinate to the pledge under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or which is payable from the general fund of the District or from taxes or any source other than the Gross Taxes and other amounts pledged under the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

Further Assurances. The District will adopt, make, execute and deliver any and all such further resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds the rights and benefits provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

Severability. If any covenant, agreement or provision, or any portion thereof, contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the application of any such covenant, agreement or provision, or portion thereof, to other persons or circumstances, shall be deemed severable and shall not be affected thereby, and the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Bonds and any Parity Bonds issued pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall remain valid and the Bondowners shall retain all valid rights and benefits accorded to them under the laws of the State of California.

Provisions of Original Fiscal Agent Agreement in Effect. Except as expressly modified herein, all of the provisions of the Original Fiscal Agent Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Partial Invalidity. If any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of the First Supplement shall for any reason be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the First Supplement. The District hereby declares that it would have entered into the First Supplement and each and every other Section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof and authorized the issuance of the 2013 Bonds pursuant thereto irrespective of the fact that any one or more Sections, paragraphs, sentences. clauses, or phrases of the First Supplement may be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable.

FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION

[Closing Date]

Board of Trustees of the Sulphur Springs Union School District, as the legislative body of Sulphur Springs Union School District Community Facilities District No. 2002-1 27000 Weyerhauser Way Canyon Country, CA 91351

Re: $4,335,000 Sulphur Springs Union School District Community Facilities District No. 2002-1 Special Tax Bonds, Refunding Series 2013A

Gentlemen:

We have examined the Constitution and laws of the State of California, a certified record of the proceedings of Sulphur Springs Union School District (the “School District”) taken in connection with the formation of Sulphur Springs Union School District Community Facilities District No. 2002-1 (the “District”) and the authorization and issuance of the District’s Special Tax Bonds, Refunding Series 2013A in the aggregate principal amount of $4,335,000 (the “Bonds”) and such other information and documents as we consider necessary to render this opinion. In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the School District, the District, the initial purchaser of the Bonds and others. We have not undertaken to verify through independent investigation the accuracy of the representations and certifications relied upon by us.

The Bonds have been issued pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (Sections 53311 et seq. of the Government Code of the State of California), a resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees of the School District, acting in its capacity as the legislative body of the School District, on January 23, 2013 (the “Resolution of Issuance”) and a Fiscal Agent Agreement by and between the District and U.S. Bank National Association, as Fiscal Agent (the “Fiscal Agent”), dated as of June 1, 2012 (the “Original Fiscal Agent Agreement”) , as supplemented by a First Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, by and between the District and the Fiscal Agent, dated as of March 1, 2013 (the “First Supplement,” and, together with the Original Fiscal Agent Agreement, the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

The Bonds are dated as of the date of hereof and mature on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Bonds bear interest payable semiannually on each March 1 and September 1, commencing on September 1, 2013, at the rates per annum set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Bonds are registered Bonds in the form set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement redeemable in the amounts, at the times and in the manner provided for in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

Based upon our examination of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon and on all matters of fact as we deem relevant under the circumstances, and upon consideration of applicable laws, we are of the opinion that:

(1) The Bonds have been duly and validly authorized by the District and are legal, valid and binding limited obligations of the District, enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting

D-2

generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, by equitable principles and by the exercise of judicial discretion; provided, however, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of the covenant of the District contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement to levy Special Taxes for the payment of Administrative Expenses. The Bonds are limited obligations of the District but are not a debt of the School District, the County of Los Angeles, the State of California or any other political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation, and, except for the Special Taxes, neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District, the School District, the County of Los Angeles, the State of California, or any other political subdivision is pledged for the payment thereof. The execution and delivery of the Fiscal Agent Agreement has been duly authorized by the District, and the Fiscal Agent Agreement is valid and binding upon the District and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, by the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity or otherwise in appropriate cases, and by the limitations on legal remedies against public agencies in the State of California; provided, however, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of the covenant of the District contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement to levy Special Taxes for the payment of Administrative Expenses or as to any provisions therein relating to indemnification, contribution, penalty, waiver, choice of law or choice of forum.

(2) The Fiscal Agent Agreement creates a valid pledge of, and the Bonds are secured by, the Net Taxes and the amounts on deposit in certain funds and accounts established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, as and to the extent provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, by equitable principles and by the exercise of judicial discretion.

(3) Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, it should be noted that, with respect to corporations, such interest (and original issue discount) may be included as an adjustment in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income, which may affect the alternative minimum tax liability of corporations.

(4) Interest on the Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax.

(5) The difference between the issue price of a Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of a maturity are to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity with respect to such Bond constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a Bond owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by a Bond owner will increase the Bond owner’s basis in the applicable Bond. Original issue discount that accrues to the Bond owner is excluded from the gross income of such owner for federal income tax purposes, is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations (as described in paragraph 3 above), and is exempt from State of California personal income tax.

The opinions expressed in paragraphs (3) and (5) above as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest and original issue discount on the Bonds are subject to the condition that the School District and the District comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to assure that such interest and original issue discount will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause interest and original issue discount on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of

D-3

issuance of the Bonds. The School District and the District have covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Except as set forth in paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) above, we express no opinion as to any tax consequences related to the Bonds.

The opinions expressed herein are based upon an analysis of existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities.

We call attention to the fact that the foregoing opinions may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether such actions or events are taken (or not taken) or do occur (or do not occur). The Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Tax Certificate executed by the District with respect to the Bonds as of the date hereof permit certain actions to be taken or omitted if a favorable opinion of Bond Counsel is provided with respect thereto. We express no opinion as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income of interest and original issue discount on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes on and after the date on which any such change occurs or action is taken upon the advice or approval of counsel other than Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation.

We express no opinion herein as to the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement relating to the Bonds or other offering material relating to the Bonds and expressly disclaim any duty to advise the owners of the Bonds with respect to matters contained in the Official Statement.

Respectfully submitted,

APPENDIX F

INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry only system has been obtained from sources that the District believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The following description of the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the 2013 Bonds, payment of principal, premium, if any, accreted value and interest on the 2013 Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the 2013 Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC to the District which the District believes to be reliable, but the District and the Underwriter do not and cannot make any independent representations concerning these matters and do not take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Neither the DTC, Direct Participants, Indirect Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such matters, but should instead confirm the same with DTC or the DTC Participants, as the case may be.

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

DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of “AA+.” The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

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

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual

F-2

Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.

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

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

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the District or the Fiscal Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Fiscal Agent, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the District or the Fiscal Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

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

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

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

THE FISCAL AGENT, AS LONG AS A BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM IS USED FOR THE BONDS, WILL SEND ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION OR OTHER NOTICES TO OWNERS ONLY TO DTC. ANY FAILURE OF DTC TO ADVISE ANY DTC PARTICIPANT, OR OF ANY DTC PARTICIPANT TO NOTIFY ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, OF ANY NOTICE AND ITS CONTENT OR EFFECT WILL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUFFICIENCY OF THE PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION OR OF ANY OTHER ACTION PREMISED ON SUCH NOTICE.
