RE: Bond Purchase Contract, City of Newport Beach, Assessment District No. 82
Dear Council Members:
For not to exceed $ par value, legally issued City of Newport Beach Assess-
ment District No. 82 Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds (the "Bonds "), dated
2001, and maturing serially from September 2, 2002, through September 2,
2016, inclusive, subject to all of the terms and conditions following, we will pay
_percent (_.000 %) of the par value thereof, with accrued interest (if any) to the date of
delivery, for Bonds bearing interest at the rates and maturing in the amounts shown in
Exhibit A and considered a part of this Bond Purchase Contract.
Said Bonds shall be in "Book Entry Form" and shall be registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of the Depository Trust Co., New York, New York ( "DTC ").
This Purchase Contract is made for acceptance by the City on 2001,
and is subject to the unqualified approving bond opinion of Robert E. Hessell, to be fur-
nished to M.L. Stem & Co., LLC (the "Underwriter") at your expense. Said legal opinion
is to be printed on the Bonds at your expense.
Delivery of these Bonds is to be made to Underwriter on or about August 23, 2001 (the
"Closing Date "). If the Bonds are not tendered for delivery to Underwriter accompanied
by said approving legal opinion on this date, Underwriter shall have the right, at its op-
tion, to cancel this Bond Purchase Contract. However, buy mutual agreement, the Clos-
ing Date may be extended.
Bond Purchase Contract Assessment District No. 82
This Bond Purchase Contract is also made subject to the following terms and conditions
A) The Bonds to be sold will equal in principal amount, and will be secured by,
unpaid assessments levied upon private property within said Assessment District, and
authorized by proceedings taken pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913
(Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California), and are to be
issued pursuant to the provisions of the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 of
said Code). Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to pay the costs of the Im-
provement Project as authorized by said proceedings.
B) Any bond may be redeemed on any March 2, or September 2, prior to its
fixed maturity date, at the option of the Treasurer of the City, upon giving at least 60 days
prior notice, and upon the payment of the principal amount thereof and interest accrued
thereon to the date of redemption, plus a redemption premium of three percent (3.00 %)
from March 2, 2002 through September 2, 2008; two percent (2.00 %) on March 2, 2009
and September 2, 2009; one percent (1.00 %) on March 2, 2010 and September 2, 2010;
and par (100 %) on March 2, 2011 and thereafter, of the principal amount thereof.
C) The City has covenanted for the benefit of the Bondowners that not later than
July 1 of each year it will determine the amount of assessment installments collected in
the prior Fiscal Year and, if the City determines that any parcel or parcels owned by a
single owner are delinquent in the payment of assessment installments in the aggregate of
$2,000 or more and the amount in the Reserve Fund is less than the Reserve Require-
ment, then the City will send or cause to be sent a notice of delinquency (and a demand
for immediate payment) to such delinquent property owners within 45 days of such de-
termination, and (if the delinquency remains uncured) the City will cause judicial foreclo-
sure proceedings to filed in the Superior Court not later than October 1 of each year, and
will prosecute diligently such foreclosure proceedings to judgment and judicial foreclo-
sure sale.
D) A Reserve Fund will be created to provide available funds from which the
City can advance and make payment on the amount of any delinquent assessments levied
for these proceedings. Payments from the Reserve Fund shall be an advance to be reim-
bursed from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the properties with respect to which
payment has been made. The Special Reserve Account shall be maintained as a separate
trust account distinct from all other funds of the City. The Special Reserve Fund shall be
in amount equal to five percent (5.00 %) of the Bonds issued for these proceedings. The
Special Reserve Fund shall be administered and payments shall be made all as authorized
under the provisions of the Improvement Bond Act of 1915.
E) If a delinquency occurs in the payment of any assessment installment, the
City will have a duty only to transfer into the Redemption Fund the amount of the delin-
quency out of the Reserve Fund. This duty on the part of the City shall be continuous
during the period of the delinquency, only to the extent of funds available from the Re-
serve Fund, until reinstatement, redemption, or sale of the delinquent property.
F) At the time of payment for and delivery of the Bonds, the City will furnish a
certificate that there is no litigation threatened or pending affecting the validity of the
Bonds or the legality of the assessment.
G) There shall be no Bonds issued secured by unpaid assessments levied upon
any lot or parcel of land belonging to the United States, or to the State of California, or to
any county, city, public agency mandatory of the government, school board, educational,
penal or reform institution or institution for the feeble- minded or the insane, whether or
not such lot or parcel of land is in use in the performance of any public function.
H) The Bonds shall bear interest at the rate or rates to be mutually determined
by Underwriter and the City. The Finance Director of the City is hereby designated, di-
rected and authorized to act on behalf of the City to determine and agree to the purchase
price to be paid and the rate or rates of interest to be home by the Bonds, provided, how-
ever, that the net interest cost shall not exceed seven percent (7.00 %).
I) In order to assist the Underwriter in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2 -12
(b)(5), the City has agreed to provide certain annual financial information and operating
data and notices of certain material events relating to the Assessment District, all as enu-
merated in the Official Statement, "Form of Continuing Disclosure Certificate" and to
execute and deliver to Underwriter a "Continuing Disclosure Certificate" as described in
the Official Statement.
K) The obligation of the Underwriter to accept delivery of and pay for the
Bonds on the Closing Date shall be subject, at the option of the Underwriter. to the fol-
lowing additional conditions;
(a) At the Closing Date, the Resolution of Issuance and any applicable agree-
ments shall be in full force and effect, and shall not have been amended,
modified or supplemented except as may have been agreed in writing by the
Underwriter, and there shall have been taken in connection therewith, with
the issuance of the Bonds and with the transactions contemplated thereby
and by this Bond Purchase Contract, all such actions as, in the opinion of
Robert E. Hessell, Bond Counsel for the City, shall be necessary and appro-
priate;
(b) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the market price or market-
ability of the Bonds at the initial offering prices set forth herein shall not
have been materially adversely affected, in the judgment of the Underwriter
(evidenced by a written notice to the Underwriter terminating the obligation
of the Underwriter to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds) by reason of
any of the following:
(1) Legislation enacted (or resolution passed) by the Congress of the United
States of America or a decision rendered by a court established under
Article III of the Constitution of the United States of America or by the
Tax Court of the United States of America, or an order, ruling, regula-
tion (final, temporary or proposed), press release or other form of notice
issued or made by or on behalf of the Treasury Department or the Inter-
nal Revenue Service of the United States of America, with the purpose
or effect, directly or indirectly, of imposing federal income taxation
upon the interest as would be received by the owners of the Bonds;
(2) Legislation enacted (or resolution passed) by the Congress of the United
States of America, or an order, decree or injunction issued by any court
of competent jurisdiction, or an order, ruling, regulation (final, tempo-
rary or proposed), press release or other form of notice issued or made
by or on behalf of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any
other governmental agency having jurisdiction of the subject matter, to
the effect that obligations of the general character of the Bonds, or the
Bonds, including any or all underlying arrangements, are not exempt
from registration under or other requirements of the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939, as amended, or that the issuance, offering or sale of obligations
of the general character of the Bonds, or of the Bonds including any or
all underwriting arrangements, as contemplated hereby or by the Official
Statement or otherwise is or would be in violation of the federal securi-
ties laws as amended and then in effect;
(3) Any amendment to the Federal or California Constitution or action by
any Federal or California court, legislative body, regulatory body or
other authority materially adversely affecting the tax status of the City,
its property, income, securities (or interest thereon), validity or enforce-
ability of the assessments or the ability of the City to construct or ac-
quire the improvements as contemplated by the Resolution of Issuance
and the Official Statement; or
(4) Any event occurring, or information becoming known to the Under-
writer which, in the judgment of the Underwriter makes untrue or mis-
leading in any material respect any statement or information contained
in the Official Statement concerning the Underwriter, the Improvement
Project, the landowners, or the property assessed.
This proposal is conditioned upon the successful consummation of the assessment pro-
ceedings and should such proceedings for any reason fail to be successfully consummated
there shall be no obligation on the part of the Underwriter or the City.
This proposal is submitted in duplicate, one copy of which is to be officially signed and
returned to Underwriter.
Very truly yours,
M.L. STERN & CO., LLC
Miles L. Benickes

California, the City does hereby authorize the issuance of a bond or bonds to represent the unpaid

Reserve Fund maintained pursuant to this Indenture and the invested earnings thereon (except to the extent
earnings are to be transferred to the Rebate Fund under this Indenture). No additional bonds or other
obligations will be issued or incurred that will be secured by or payable from the assessments of the Assessment
District
SECTION 3. Alternative Procedure for Advance Payment. The provisions of Part 11.1 of the Act,
providing an altemative procedure for the advance payment of assessments and the calling of all or a portion
of the Bonds shall apply.
SECTION 4. Registered Bonds; Denominations and Book -Entry Only. The Bonds shall be issued only
as fully registered Bonds in the denomination of $5,000, or any integral multiple thereof, except for one
Bond (which Bond if a series of Bonds is issued shall be the Bond maturing in the first year of maturity)
which shall include the amount by which the total aggregate principal amount of the Bonds exceeds the
maximum integral multiple of $5,000. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the Bonds shall
be initially issued in book -entry form in accordance with the terms of Exhibit B attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 5. Date of Bonds. All of the Bonds shall be dated as of the date of the delivery of the Bonds

for their maturity as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
Interest on the Bonds shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America on March 2 and

Paying Agent mailed by first -class mail, postage prepaid, on each Interest Payment Date to the registered
owners thereof at the owner's addresses as they appear on the Paying Agent's books of registration on the
15th day of the month immediately preceding said Interest Payment Date regardless of whether such day is
a business day (the "Record Date ") or by wire transfer to an account in the United States of America made
on an Interest Payment Date upon written instructions received by the Paying Agent on or before the Record
Date from an owner of $100,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds. Interest shall be calculated

authentication of that Bond, unless (i) the date of authentication is an Interest Payment Date, in which event
interest shall be payable from such date of authentication, (ii) the date of authentication is after a Record
Date but prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date, in which event interest shall be payable

SECTION 19. Creation of Funds. The Paying Agent and the City, as applicable, are hereby authorized
and directed to establish the following funds for purposes of collecting assessment installments, making
payment for the hereinafter designated costs and expenses and payment of principal and interest on the
Bonds. The funds to be created are designated and subject to the terms as follows:
(a) Redemption Fund: The Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to keep a Redemption Fund
(the "Redemption Fun(T") designatedby the name of the Assessment District and to deposit therein from time
to time (i) the amount of the proceeds of the Bonds which represents accrued and capitalized interest on the
Bonds, (ii) all sums received from the City representing the collection of the assessments other than
assessments for administrative costs and the interest thereon, and (iii) any surplus in the Improvement Fund
to the extent as provided below.
Except for money received with respect to assessment surcharges for administrative costs, the City shall
transfer or cause to be transferred to the Paying Agent all sums received from the collection of the
assessments and any interest thereon and all sums received for the partial or full prepayment of assessments
as required by Streets and Highways Code Section 8767. Any transfer representing the payment of
delinquent assessment installments or the proceeds of the redemption of or foreclosure on any property with
respect to which any assessment installments are delinquent shall be accompanied by written instructions
as to the amount, if any, of such transfer which is required to be transferred to the Reserve Fund. Any
transfer representing the prepayment of assessments shall be accompanied by written instructions as to the
disposition of such sums to redeem Bonds prior to maturity or to pay accrued interest on any Bonds to be
redeemed.
Principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the registered owners out of the
Redemption Fund to the extent funds on deposit in said Redemption Fund are available therefor. In all
respects not recited herein, said Bonds shall be governed by this Indenture or such other direction ofthe City
to the Paying Agent given in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Under no circumstances shall the
Bonds or interest thereon be paid out of any other fund except as provided herein.
Prior to the Interest Payment Date, there shall be established by the Paying Agent a prepayment subaccount
within the Redemption Fund to be known as the Prepayment Account ( "Prepayment Account "). The City
shall transfer to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Prepayment Account all monies received representing
the principal of and redemption premium on any prepaid assessments, including any amounts transferred
7/13/01 DRAFT
from the Escrow Account of the Improvement Fund pursuant to Section 19(c) below. Such monies shall be
applied solely to the payment of the principal of and premium on Bonds to be redeemed prior to maturity
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 of this Indenture.
(b) Reserve Fund: The City shall create and maintain a special reserve fund for the Bonds (the "Reserve
Fund ") to be designated by the name of the Assessment District. Pursuant to Section 18 of this Indenture,
the Reserve Fund shall be initially funded from a portion of the Bond proceeds in an amount equal to 5%
of the principal amount of the Bonds. The City shall also deposit in the Reserve Fund funds which represent
the proceeds of (i) payments made to redeem delinquent assessment installments or (ii) the judicial
foreclosure sale of parcels pursuant to Section 22 below.
Monies in the Reserve Fund shall be applied as follows:
(1) Amounts in the Reserve Fund shall be transferred to the Paying Agent for deposit in the
Redemption Fund if there are insufficient monies in said Redemption Fund to pay principal of and interest
on the Bonds when due. Amounts so transferred shall be repaid to the Reserve Fund from proceeds from
the redemption or foreclosure of property with respect to which an assessment is unpaid and from payments
of the delinquent assessments.
(2) Interest earned on the permitted investment of monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall
remain in the Reserve Fund to the extent required to maintain the Reserve Fund at the Reserve Requirement.
Not later than July 15 of each fiscal year the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess of the
"Reserve Requirement" shall be transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund and credited to
the unpaid assessment installments payable during such fiscal year. "Reserve Requirement" shall mean the
least of (i) the maximum annual debt service on the outstanding Bonds, (ii) 125% of the average annual debt
service on the outstanding Bonds, or (iii) 5% of the principal amount of Bonds (the "Reserve Requirement ").
The Auditor's record shall reflect the credits against each of the unpaid assessments in amounts equal to each
parcel's proportionate share of such transfer.
Notwithstanding the above, interest earnings on monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess
of the "yield" on the Bonds, as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code "), shall
be subject to transfer and rebate to the United States Treasury.
(3) Whenever monies in the Reserve Fund are sufficient to fully pay all of the Bonds, plus
accrued interest thereon, the money shall be transferred to the Redemption Fund and collection of a
corresponding amount of the remaining unpaid assessments shall cease.
(4) In the event an assessment is prepaid in cash, the City shall credit the prepaid assessment
with a proportionate share of the Reserve Fund and transfer an amount equal to such credit to the
Redemption Fund to be utilized for the advance retirement of Bonds.
(c) Improvement Fund:
(1) General. The City shall create and maintain an improvement fund for the Bonds (the
"Improvement Fund ") to be designated by the name of the Assessment District.
(2) Project Costs. The monies in the Improvement Fund shall be used only for the payment of
Project Costs as that term is defined hereinafter. "Project Costs" shall mean the costs of the conversion of
certain overhead electrical and communication facilities to underground locations, together with
appurtenances and appurtenant work in connection therewith (the "Improvements ") as authorized in the
assessment proceedings and all incidental costs related thereto including the costs of issuing the Bonds, all
7/13/01 DRAFT

Office of the City Clerk of the City as may be amended from time to time pursuant to the Municipal
Improvement Act of 1913.
The Treasurer of the City shall be responsible for the safekeeping and investment of the monies held
in the Improvement Fund. Interest earned on the investment of the monies held in the Improvement Fund
shall be deemed at all times to be part of the Improvement Fund.
Upon completion of the acquisition and construction of the Improvements, the Superintendent of
Streets of the City shall file a certificate of completion with the Treasurer. Any surplus in the Improvement
Fund after completion of the Improvements but prior to August 31, 2003 shall remain in the Improvement
Fund until at least August 31, 2003 and thereafter shall be utilized or distributed in any manner authorized
by the Act.
(d) Rebate Fund: The City shall establish and maintain a Rebate Fund. Amounts on deposit in the
Rebate Fund shall be paid to the United States of America. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture, all earnings on amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall remain therein until all amounts
payable to the United States of America have been paid.
SECTION 20. Investments. Obligations purchased as investments of monies in any of the funds in which
investments are authorized shall be deemed at all times to be part of such funds. Subject to the restrictions
set forth herein, monies in said funds may from time to time be invested by the Paying Agent at the written
direction of the Treasurer of the City, which written direction shall contain a certification to the Paying
Agent that such investments are Authorized Investments, as defined in Exhibit D hereto. Such monies shall
be invested only in obligations which will by their terms mature on such dates so as to ensure the payment
of principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due; provided, investments of money in the
Reserve Fund shall mature not later than five years from the date of purchase except such money may be
invested in a repurchase agreement or an investment agreement without such five year limitation so long as
the agreement provides for withdrawals at par on any Interest Payment Date.
The City and, if applicable, the Paying Agent shall sell at the best price reasonably obtainable or present for
redemption any obligations so purchased whenever it may be necessary to do so in order to provide monies
to meet any payment or transfer for such funds or from such funds. For the purpose of determining at any
given time the balance in any such funds, any such investments constituting a part of such funds shall be
valued at their market value. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Paying Agent shall not
be responsible for any loss from any investments pursuant to this Indenture, except for its own negligence
or willful misconduct. The Paying Agent may act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of
investments. Paying Agent may commingle the funds established hereunder for investment purposes, but
shall nonetheless account for each separately.
SECTION 21. No City Liability. It is hereby further determined and declared that the City will not
obligate itself to advance any available funds from its treasury to cure any deficiency or delinquency which
may occur in the Redemption Fund by failure of property owners to pay annual special assessments. This
determination shall be clearly set forth and state in the title of the Bonds to be issued pursuant to these
proceedings as authorized and required by Section 8769 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of
California.
SECTION 22. Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure. The City will review the public records of the
County of Orange, California, in connection with the collection of the assessment installments not later than
August 1 of each year to determine the amount of assessment installments collected in the prior Fiscal Year.
If the City determines that any parcel or parcels are delinquent in the payment of assessment installments,
7/13/01 DRAFT
then the City will cause judicial foreclosure proceedings to be filed in the Superior Court not later than
December 1 of such year, and will prosecute diligently such foreclosure proceedings to judgement and
judicial foreclosure sale; provided, however, the commencement of any foreclosure action may be deferred
in the sole discretion of the City if, and only so long as, the amount in the Reserve Fund is not less than
seventy percent (70 %) of the Reserve Requirement.
Upon the redemption or sale of the real property responsible for any such delinquent assessment installment,
the City will apply the net proceeds thereof to: (a) deposit to the Reserve Fund the amount of any
delinquency advanced therefrom to the Redemption fund for payment of interest on or principal of the
Bonds, and (b) the balance, if any, will be disbursed as set forth in the judgment of foreclosure or as required
by law.
SECTION 23. Covenant to Maintain Tax - Exempt Status. The City covenants that it will not make any
use of the proceeds of the Bonds issued hereunder which would cause the Bonds to become "arbitrage
bonds" subject to federal income taxation pursuant to the provisions of Section 148(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), or to become "federally- guaranteed obligations" pursuant
to the provisions of Section 149(b) of the Code, or to become "private activity bonds" pursuant to the
provisions of Section 141(a) of the Code. To that end, the City will comply with all applicable requirements
of the Code and all regulations of the United States Department of Treasury issued thereunder to the extent
such requirements are, at the time, applicable and in effect. Additionally, the City agrees to implement and
follow each and every recommendation provided by bond counsel and deemed to be necessary to be
undertaken by the City to ensure compliance with all applicable provisions of the Code in order to preserve
the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 24. Order to Print and Authenticate Bonds. The Treasurer is hereby instructed to cause
Bonds, in form substantially similar to Exhibit C attached hereto, to be printed, and to proceed to cause said

the purchase price as set forth in the accepted proposal for the sale of Bonds.
SECTION 25. Paying Agent. The City hereby appoints U.S. Bank Trust National Association, and U.S.

negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Paying Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a certificate of the City, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Paying Agent for any
action taken or suffered under the provisions of this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture upon the faith
thereof, but in its discretion the Paying Agent may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or

seem reasonable.

law, to indemnify and save the Paying Agent, its officers, employees, and agents harmless against any
liabilities which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder which are
not due to its negligence or willful misconduct.
The obligation of the City under this Section shall survive resignation or removal of the Paying Agent under
this Indenture and payment of the Bonds and discharge of this Indenture.

or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided such company shall be eligible under this Section
25, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Paying Agent without the execution or filing of any
paper or further act. If a successor to the Paying Agent is not appointed by the City within sixty (60) calendar
days after notice of resignation by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor.
SECTION 26. Liability of Paying Agent. The recitals of fact and all promises, covenants and agreements
contained herein and in the Bonds shall be taken as statements, promises, covenants and agreements of the
City, and the Paying Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same and makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Bonds, and shall incur no

After the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, this Indenture shall not be subject to recission, but shall be
subject to modification to the extent and in the manner provided in this Indenture, but to no greater extent
and in no other manner.
SECTION 28. Unclaimed Funds. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, subject to applicable
state escheat laws, any monies held by the Paying Agent in trust for the payment of the principal or premium,
if any, or interest on, any Bonds and remaining unclaimed for one year after the principal of all of the Bonds
has become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or by declaration as provided
in this Indenture), if such monies were held at such date, or one year after the date of deposit of such monies
if deposited after said date when all of the Bonds became due and payable, shall be repaid to the City free
from the lien created by this Indenture, and all liability of the Paying Agent with respect to such monies shall
thereupon cease and the Bondowners shall, upon such payment, look only to the City for payment; provided,
however, that before the repayment of such monies to the City as aforesaid, the Paying Agent shall (at the
written request and cost of the City) first publish at least once in a nationally recognized financial publication
published in New York, New York, and Los Angeles, California, a notice, in such form as may be deemed
appropriate by the Paying Agent, with respect to the provisions relating to the repayment to the City of the
monies held for the payment thereof.
SECTION 29. Modification or Amendment to this Indenture.
(a) This Indenture and the rights and obligations of the City and of the owners of the Bonds may be
modified or amended at any time by a supplemental indenture pursuant to the affirmative vote at a meeting
of the owners, or with the written consent without a meeting, of the owners of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding. No such modification or amendment shall (i) extend the
maturity of any Bond or the time for paying interest thereon, or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of
the City to pay the principal of, and the interest and any premium on, any Bond, without the express consent
of the owner of such Bond, or (ii) permit the creation of any pledge of or lien upon the assessments superior
to or on a parity with the pledge and lien created for the benefit of the Bonds, (iii) reduce the percentage of
Bonds required for the amendment hereof, or (iv) reduce the principal amount of or redemption premium
on any Bond or reduce the interest rate thereon. Any such amendment may not modify any of the rights or
11
7/13/01 DRAFT
obligations of the Paying Agent without its written consent. The Paying Agent may obtain an opinion of
counsel that any such supplemental indenture entered into by the City and the Paying Agent complies with
the provisions of this Section 29 and the Paying Agent may conclusively rely on such opinion.
(b) This Indenture and the rights and obligations of the City and the owners may also be modified or
amended at any time by a supplemental indenture, without the consent of any owners, only to the extent
permitted by law and only for any one or more of the following purposes:
(1) to add to the covenants and agreements of the City contained in this Indenture, other
covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any right or power herein
reserved to or conferred upon the City;
(2) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting
or supplementing any defective provisions of this Indenture, or in regard to questions arising under this
Indenture, as the City and the Paying Agent may deem necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with this
Indenture, and which shall not materially adversely affect the rights of the owners; or
(3) to make such additions, deletions or modifications as may be necessary or desirable to
assure compliance with Section 148 of the Code relating to required rebate of excess earnings to the United
States of America or otherwise as may be necessary to assure exclusion from gross income for federal
income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or to conform with the federal tax regulations.
SECTION 30. Notices to and Demands on City and Paying Agent. Any notice or demand which by any
provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given to or served on the City or the Paying Agent

SECTION 31. Partial Invalidity. If any Section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Indenture
shall for any reason be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, such holding
shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Indenture. The City hereby declares that it
would have executed and delivered this Indenture and each and every other section, paragraph, sentence,

SECTION 34. Payment on Business Day. In any case where the date of the payment of principal of or
interest (and premium, if any) on the Bonds or the date fixed for redemption is other than a business day (i.e.,
any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or any day the Paying Agent is authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to be closed), the payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made
on the scheduled date but may be made on the next succeeding date which is a business day with the same
force and effect as if made on the date required, and no interest shall accrue for the period after the scheduled

SECTION 35. Continuing Disclosure. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and
carry out all of the provisions of that certain Continuing Disclosure Agreement dated as of August 1, 2000
by and between the City and the Paying Agent, acting as dissemination agent (the "Continuing Disclosure
Agreement "). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, failure of the City to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an event of default; however, any Participating
Underwriter (as such term is defined in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement) or any Bond owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by
court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this Section.
SECTION 36. Defeasance. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, to the
Owner of an outstanding Bond the interest due thereon and the principal thereof, at the times and in the
manner stipulated in the Bond Indenture, then other than as set forth below, all covenants, agreements and
other obligations of the City to the Owner of such Bond under the Bond Indenture shall thereupon cease,
terminate and become void and discharged and satisfied.
Any outstanding Bond shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning expressed in the preceding
paragraph if such Bond is paid in any one or more of the following ways:
(1) by paying or causing to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond,
as and when the same shall become due and payable;
(2) by depositing with the Paying Agent, in trust, at or before maturity, money which, together
with the amounts then on deposit in the funds established pursuant to the Bond Indenture (exclusive of the
Rebate Fund) and available for such purpose, is fully sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such Bond, as and when the same shall become due and payable; or
(3) by depositing with an escrow bank appointed by the City, in trust, noncallable United States
Treasury Obligations, in such amount as a certified public accountant shall determine (as set forth in a
verification report from such accountant) will be sufficient, together with the interest to accrue thereon and
moneys then on deposit in the funds established under the Bond Indenture (exclusive of the Rebate Fund)
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, as and when the same shall become due and payable;
then, at the election of the City, and notwithstanding that any Outstanding Bonds shall not have been
surrendered for payment, all obligations of the City under the Bond Indenture with respect to such Bond shall
cease and terminate, except for the obligation of the Paying Agent to pay or cause to be paid to the Owners
of any such Bond not so surrendered and paid, all sums due thereon and except for the covenants of the
District to preserve the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes. Notice of such election shall be filed with the Paying Agent not less than ten (10) days prior to the
proposed defeasance date, or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Paying Agent. In
connection with a defeasance under (b) or (c) above, there shall be provided to the Paying Agent a certificate
of a certified public accountant stating its opinion as to the sufficiency of the moneys or securities deposited

with the Paying Agent or the escrow bank, together with the interest to accrue thereon and moneys then on
deposit in the funds established under the Bond Indenture (exclusive of the Rebate Fund) 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 all such Bonds to be defeased in accordance with the Bond Indenture 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 being defeased have been legally defeased in
accordance with the Bond Indenture.

Book -Entry Provisions
The Bonds (other than the first maturity bonds) shall be initially issued in the form of a single, fully
registered Bond for each maturity (which may be typewritten). Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such
Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Nominee identified below as nominee of The Depository Trust
Company, New York, and its successors and assigns (the "Depository" or "DTC "). Except as hereinafter
provided, all of the Bonds shall be registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository, which may be
the Depository, as determined from time to time pursuant to this Section (the "Nominee ").
With respect to the Bonds registered in the name of the Nominee, neither the Issuer nor the Paying
Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any broker - dealers, banks and other financial institutions
from time to time for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the "Participant ") or to any
person on behalf of which such a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the
immediately preceding sentence, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or
obligation (unless the Issuer is at such time the Depository) with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records
of the Depository, the Nominee, or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii)
the delivery to any Participant or any other person, her than an owner of a Bond as shown in the register, of
any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, (iii) the selection by the Depository
and its Participants of the beneficial interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in the event the Issuer redeems
the Bonds in part, or (iv) the payment to any Participant or any other person, other than an owner of a Bond
as shown in the register, of any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds. The Issuer and
the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered as the holder and
absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such Bond,
for the purpose of giving notices of prepayment if applicable, and other matters with respect to such Bond,
for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.
The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the
respective owner of a Bond, as shown in the register, or his respective attorney duly authorized in writing,
and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's and the Paying
Agent's obligations with respect to payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid. No person other than an owner of a Bond, as shown in the register, shall receive a Bond
evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal and interest pursuant to this Indenture.
Upon delivery by the Depository to the owners of the Bonds, and the Issuer of written notice to the effect
that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the
provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, the word Nominee in this Indenture shall refer to such
nominee of the Depository.
In order to qualify the Bonds for the Depository's book -entry system, the Issuer is executing and
delivering to the Depository a Representations Letter. The execution and delivery of the Representations
Letter shall not in any other way limit the provisions of this Section or in any other way impose upon the
Issuer any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having interests in the Bonds other than the owners
of the Bonds, as shown on the register. In addition to the execution and delivery of the Representations
Letter, the Issuer shall take such other actions, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as are reasonably
necessary to qualify the Bonds for the Depository's book -entry program.
In the event (i) the Depository determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the
Bonds, or (ii) the Depository shall no longer so act and gives notice to the Issuer of such determination, then
the Issuer will discontinue the book -entry system with the Depository. If the Issuer determines to replace the
rbM
7/13/01 DRAFT
Depository with another qualified securities depository, the Issuer shall prepare or direct the preparation of
a new, single, separate, fully registered Bond, per maturity, registered in the name of such successor or
substitute qualified securities depository or its nominee. If the Issuer fails to identify another qualified
securities depository to replace the Depository, then the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being
registered in the register in the name of the Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names
owners of the Bonds transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture, and the Issuer shall prepare and deliver Bonds to the owners thereof for such purpose.
In the event of a reduction in aggregate principal amount of Bonds or an advance refunding of part
of the Bonds, DTC, in its discretion, (a) may request the Issuer to prepare and issue a new Bond or (b) may
make an appropriate notation on the Bond indicating the date and amounts of such reduction in principal,
but in such event the Issuer records maintained by the Paying Agent shall be conclusive as to what amounts
are on the Bond, except in the case of final maturity, in which case the Bond must be presented to the Paying
Agent prior to payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any Bond is
registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments of principal and interest with respect to such Bond and
all notices with respect to such Bonds shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the
Representation Letter or as otherwise instructed by the Depository and acceptable to the Issuer.
The initial Nominee shall be Cede & Co., as Nominee of DTC.

governmental charges, if any, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon such transfer a new registered
Bond or Bonds of any authorized denomination or denominations of the same maturity, for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer and are not a lien or charge upon the funds or property of
the Issuer, except to the extent of the funds in the Redemption Fund. The Bonds are not a debt of the Issuer
or the State of California or any subdivision thereof, and neither the Issuer nor the State of California or
any subdivision thereof is liable for the payment of the Bonds. THE ISSUER DETERMINED AND
DECLARED THAT THE ISSUER WILL NOT OBLIGATE ITSELF TO ADVANCE AVAILABLE FUNDS
FROM ITS TREASURY TO CURE ANY DEFICIENCY WHICH MAY OCCUR IN THE REDEMPTION

monies representing prepaid assessments) may be used and withdrawn by the Paying Agent upon the direction of

principal amount thereof, the premium, if any, plus interest accrued to the date of maturity or redemption that
would otherwise be payable.

EXHIBIT D
AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
"Authorized Investments" is defined in the Bond Indenture to mean the following types of investments made by the
City and the guidelines for investing in each. In all cases, investments shall be made in the context of the "Prudent
Man" rule, which states, in part, that:
"When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, and managing public
funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters
would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the
principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section
and considering individual investments as part to (sic) an overall investment strategy, a trustee
is authorized to acquire investments as authorized by law."
In this light, the City of Newport Beach does not purchase or sell securities on margin. Additionally, any
institution, which holds either the collateral or the investment instruments themselves in safekeeping for the City,
must maintain at least $500,000,000 in assets.
A. Certificates ofDeposit
Only fully collateralized certificates of deposit with FDIC insured institutions will be utilized in
investment of City funds. Government securities having a market value of 110 percent of the total amount
of investment are acceptable as collateral. As an alternative, first trust deeds having a value of 150
percent of the total amount of investment are acceptable as collateral if approved by the Administrative
Services Director on a case by case basis. Noncollateralized CD investments may be made in amounts
less than $100,000 so long as they are fully insured by the FDIC.
Not more than 10 percent of the City's investment portfolio shall be invested in certificates of deposit with
any one institution. CD's will not be placed for a period of longer than one year. Further, an institution
must meet the following criteria to be considered by the City:
I . The institution must maintain at least $1 billion in assets ($100 million for fully insured CD's of
$100,000 or less).
2. The institution must have been in business at least three years.
3. The institution must have a net worth to asset ratio of at least 6 percent.
4. The institution must place and maintain on file with the City an audited financial statement not
more than one year old.
5. Interest shall be paid to the City on a monthly basis.
B. Negotiable Certificates ofDeposi!
As a matter of policy, the City invests in Negotiable Certificates of Deposit only with U.S. Banks whose
underlying securities are rated A -I or P -I by one of the top two rating agencies and having assets in
D -1
7/13/01 DRAFT
excess of $10 billion, so as to insure security and a large, well- established secondary market. Ease of
subsequent marketability is further ascertained prior to initial investment by examining currently quoted
bids by primary dealers and the acceptability of the issuer by these dealers. No one issuer shall exceed
more than 10 percent of the portfolio, and maturity shall not exceed one year. The California Government
Code Section 53601 limits investment in negotiable certificates of deposit to 30 percent of the portfolio.
C. Bankers Acceptances
The City may invest only in Bankers Acceptances written by the 100 largest banks in the world. In the
case of foreign banks, the Bankers Acceptances must be written by their U.S. branches. Maximum
maturity shall be nine months. No more than 30 percent of the City's overall investment portfolio shall
be placed in Bankers Acceptances.
D. U.S. Treasury Issues
The City may invest in treasury notes, bills and bonds. Safekeeping documentation of these instruments
in an acceptable and secure account in the City's name is required. Maximum maturity of any U.S.
Treasury issue shall be five years.
E. Federal Agency Securities
Securities of this type that are acceptable for the City's investments are Federal Home Loan Bank notes,
Federal National Mortgage Association notes, Federal Farm Credit Bank notes, or any other U. S.
Government Agency security. Security requirements and maturity limitations are the same as those for
U.S. Treasury issues.
Commercial Paper
The City may only invest in commercial paper issued by large, exceptionally well- established firms with
the highest Moody's or Standard & Poor's ratings (A l/P l). Commercial paper shall be used solely as a
short -term investment not to exceed 180 days. Additionally, not more than 15% of the portfolio shall be
invested in commercial paper with a maturity beyond 30 days. Another 15% may be invested in
commercial paper with a maturity of less than 30 days. Security requirements are the same as those listed
above. Investment in commercial paper of any one issuer shall not exceed 10 percent of the portfolio.
G. Repurchase Agreements (Repos) and Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Repos and reverse repos shall be used solely as a short -term investment not to exceed 30 days. The
institution from which the City purchases a Repo must deliver adequate collateral to the City's
safekeeping account (either directly or through a third party safekeeping agent), consisting of U.S.
Treasury or Agency securities at the rate of 102 percent of the face value of the repo. The amount of this
collateral must be sufficient to compensate for fluctuating market conditions. Repos will only be
purchased from Primary Dealers.
Assets must be owned by the City for more than 30 days before they can be used as collateral for a reverse
repurchase agreement. No more than 10% of the portfolio can be involved in reverse repos.
H. Passbook Savings Accounts
Savings accounts may be used as a repository for customer deposits, or for similar purposes. Consistent
with the requirements for CD investments, funds deposited in savings accounts must either be FDIC
insured or collateralized.

7/13/01 DRAFT
Local Agency Investment Fetid (LAIF) (State of California)
State Regulation limits any one City's investment in this fund to $20 million at any one time, and prohibits
more than 10 transactions (deposits or withdrawals) per month. Investment in this Pool is intended to be
used as a temporary repository for short -term funds used for liquidity purposes. At no time shall more
than 10 percent of the City's total investment portfolio be placed in this Pool with the exception that 25
percent of the portfolio may be placed in the Pool for a period not to exceed 30 days.
J. County Investment Funds
