(A) The principal amount of the Note, together with the interest thereon, shall be payable from taxes, income, revenue (including, but not limited to, revenue from the state and federal governments), cash receipts and other moneys which are received by the Local Agency for the general fund of the Local Agency and are attributable to Fiscal Year 2001-2002 and which are available for payment thereof. As security for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note, the Local Agency hereby pledges certain unrestricted revenues (as hereinafter provided,the"Pledged Revenues")which are received by the Local Agency for the general fund of the Local Agency and are attributable to Fiscal Year 2001- 2002, and the principal of the Note and the interest thereon shall constitute a first lien and charge thereon and shall be payable from the first moneys received by the Local Agency from such Pledged Revenues, and, to the extent not so paid, shall be paid from any other taxes, income, revenue, cash receipts and other moneys of the Local Agency lawfully available therefor (all as provided for in Sections 53856 and 53857 of the Act). The term '.unrestricted revenues" shall mean all taxes, income, revenue (including, but not limited to, revenue from the state and federal governments), cash receipts, and other moneys, intended as receipts for the general fund of the Local Agency attributable to Fiscal Year 2001-2002 and which are generally available for the payment of current expenses and other obligations of the Local Agency.

RESOLUTION NO. FD01-005 Page 10 of 38 In order to effect the pledge referenced in the preceding paragraph, the Local Agency hereby agrees and covenants to establish and maintain a special account within the Local Agency's general fund to be designated the "2001-2002 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note Payment Account" (the "Payment Account") and further agrees and covenants to maintain the Payment Account until the payment of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Local Agency elects to have Note proceeds invested in Permitted Investments to be held by the Trustee pursuant to the Pricing Confirmation, a subaccount of the Payment Account(the"Payment Subaccount")shall be established for the Local Agency under the Indenture and proceeds credited to such account shall be pledged to the payment of the Note. The Trustee need not create a subaccount, but may keep a record to account separatelyfor proceeds of the Note so held and invested by the Trustee which record shall constitute the Local Agency's Proceeds Subaccount. Transfers from the Payment Subaccount shall be made in accordance with the Indenture. The Local Agency agrees to transfer to and deposit in the Payment Account the first amounts received in the months specified in the Pricing Confirmation as Repayment Months(each individual month a"Repayment Month" and collectively "Repayment Months") (and any amounts received thereafter attributable to Fiscal Year 2001-2002) until the amount on deposit in the Payment Account, together with the amount, if any, on deposit in the Payment Subaccount, is equal in the respective Repayment Months identified in the Pricing Confirmation to the percentage of the principal and interest due on the Note at maturity specified in the Pricing Confirmation. In making such transfer and deposit, the Local Agency shall not be required to physically segregate the amounts to be transferred to and deposited in the Payment Account from the Local Agency's other general fund moneys, but, notwithstanding any commingling of funds for investment or other purposes,the amounts required to be transferred to and deposited in the Payment Account shall nevertheless be subject to the lien and charge created herein. Any one of the Authorized Representatives of the Local Agency is hereby authorized to approve the determination of the Repayment Months and percentages of the principal and interest due on the Note at maturity required to be on deposit in the Payment Account and/or the Payment Subaccount in each Repayment Month, all as specified in the Pricing Confirmation, by executing and delivering the Pricing Confirmation, such execution and delivery to be conclusive evidence of approval by this RESOLUTION NO.

In the event on the day in each such Repayment Month that a deposit to the Payment Account is required to be made, the Local Agency has not received sufficient unrestricted revenues to permit the deposit into the Payment Account of the full amount of Pledged Revenues to be deposited in the Payment Account from said unrestricted revenues in said month, then the amount of any deficiency shall be satisfied and made up from any other moneys of the Local Agency lawfully available for the payment of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon, as and when such other moneys are received or are otherwise legally available. (B) Any moneys placed in the Payment Account or the Payment Subaccount shall be for the benefit of (i) the holder of the Note and the holders of Bonds issued in connection with the Notes, (ii) (to the extent provided in the Indenture)the Credit Provider, if any, and (iii) (to the extent provided in the Indenture and, if applicable, the Credit Agreement) the Reserve Credit Provider, if any. The moneys in the Payment Account and the Payment Subaccount shall be applied only for the purposes for which such Accounts are created until the principal of the Note and all interest thereon are paid or until provision has been made for the payment of the principal of the Note at maturity with interest to maturity (in accordance with the requirements for defeasance of the Bonds as set forth in the Indenture) and, if applicable, (to the extent provided in the Indenture and, if applicable, the Credit Agreement)the payment of all Predefault Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations owing to the Credit Provider and, if applicable, the Reserve Credit Provider. (C)The Local Agency hereby directs the Trustee to transfer on the Note Payment deposit Date (as defined in the Indenture), any moneys in the Payment Subaccount to the Bond Payment Fund (as defined in the Indenture). In addition,on the Note Payment Deposit Date,the moneys in the Payment Account shall be transferred by the Local Agency to the Trustee, to the extent necessary (after crediting any transfer pursuant to the preceding sentence), to pay the principal of and/or interest on the Note or to reimburse the Credit Provider for payments made under or pursuant to the Credit instrument. In the event that moneys in the Payment Account and/or the Payment Subaccount are insufficient to pay the principal RESOLUTION NO.

Any moneys remaining in or accruing to the Payment Account and/or the Payment Subaccount after the principal of the Note and the interest thereon and any Predefault Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations,if applicable, have been paid,or provision for such payment has been made, shall be transferred to the general fund of the Local Agency, subject to any other disposition required by the Indenture, or, if applicable, the Credit Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve the Local Agency from its obligation to pay its Note in full on the Maturity Date. (D) Moneys in the Proceeds Subaccount and in the Payment Subaccount shall be invested by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture as directed by the Local Agency in Permitted Investments as described in and under the terms of the Indenture. Any such investment by the Trustee shall be for the account and risk of the Local Agency, and the Local Agency shall not be deemed to be relieved of any of its obligations with respect to the Note, the Predefault Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations, if any, by reason of such investment of the moneys in its Proceeds Subaccount or the Payment Subaccount. (E) At the written request of the Credit Provider, if any, or the Reserve Credit Provider, if any, the Local Agency shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of such written request, file such report or reports to evidence the transfer to and deposit in the Payment Account required by this Section 8 and provide such additional financial information as maybe required by the Credit Provider, if any, or the Reserve Credit Provider, if any.
