Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes February 25, 2008 Page 6 In response to Commissioner Mary Craton's question regarding project priority, Shirley Medina replied that the projects are listed in random order, not priority order. Commissioner Ron Roberts asked for clarification as to why the city of Banning was on the list and no funds are being requested. Shirley Medina apologized for the omission and will provide a revised list to the Commissioners. In response to Commissioner Roger Berg's request, Shirley Medina confirmed that staff will verify that the right-of-way has been secured for the Ramsey Street extension project for the city of Banning. M/S/C (Gibbs/Craton) to: 1) Receive and file the status of Measure A Western County Regional Arterial call for projects; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. 11. CITY OF CORONA TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE PROGRAMMING REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE FOOTHILL PARKWAY EXTENSION PROJECT FROM PASEO GRANDE TO LINCOLN AVENUE Shirley Medina provided an overview of the city of Corona Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) programming request for additional funding for the Foothill Parkway extension project from Paseo Grande to Lincoln Avenue. M/S/C (Henderson/Gibbs) to: 1) Approve the city of Corona's request to increase the Transportation Uniform Mitigation fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial funds for the right-of-way phase on the Foothill Parkway extension project from $2 million to $12 million; 2) Approve an increase for expenditures of $10 million in the FY 2007/08 budget; 3) Amend the TUMF agreement; and 4) Forward to the Commission for final action. Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes February 25, 2008 Page 7 12. STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Aaron Hake, Government Relations Manager, provided an update on AB 1954 (Jeffries) and SB 1316 (Correa) and noted that a federal legislative update will be provided at the 2008 Commission Workshop. Commissioner Terry Henderson asked for clarification on AB 1954 and the two slots available in Southern California for high occupancy toll (HOT) lane authority. Aaron Hake replied that the applicant agency submits an application to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for a project and there are parameters in the existing program that state the project must be consistent with other HOT lanes in the state, other limitations, and public protections that are in place. The CTC has to determine that the Commission is eligible under the criteria and then the program requires that the applicant pursue legislation to enact the statute that memorializes the Commission's place as one of those slots in the HOT pilot program. Commissioner Henderson expressed concern for the program and asked about the carpool lanes on SR-60 through Moreno Valley. Anne Mayer replied that the carpool lanes on SR-60 went through a two-year process with Caltrans as the lead agency with the Commission's support in the effort to convert the carpool lanes to part-time use and was denied by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). FHWA stated that California needs to become consistent in the application of carpool lane practices and policies and the request would not be approved until that happened. She noted that Orange County is working towards having carpool lanes converted to continuous ingress and egress, which would allow vehicles to enter and exit at anytime. There is considerable discussion for Southern California to convert to this method if appropriate by project, however the challenge will be funding. She stated that staff will stay engaged in the discussion with other regional agencies. Commissioner Magee asked if staff is comfortable with the language on SB 1316. Aaron Hake replied that there are a couple of minor changes that staff will propose be made to the legislation pursuant to discussions with Orange County Transportation Authority. One of the changes will be the addition that the cost of operating the committee will not be born by the state and that the agencies Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes February 25, 2008 Page 8 will be taking care of the costs. The other change relates to the statement in the legislation that currently reads that the Commission will be pursuing authority on SR-91 to toll between the county line and 1-215. It needs to read 1-15 and omit 1-215. Commissioner Magee requested staff remain extremely vigilant and to the greatest extent possible, the Commission does not end up in a subordinate position as Orange County and Riverside County are partners. M/S/C (Tavaglione/Craton) to: 1) Receive and file the State Legislative Update; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. 13. ITEMS PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR There were no items pulled from the Consent Calendar. 14. COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS/STAFF There were no comments by Commissioners or staff. 15. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business for consideration by the Budget and Implementation Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 10:06 a.m. The next meeting of the Budget and Implementation Committee is scheduled for March 24, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Jennifer Harmon Clerk of the Board " " " A G E N D A I T E M 7 A 11 " R I V E R S / D E C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N C O M M / S S / O N D A T E : M a r c h 2 4 , 2 0 0 8 T O : B u d g e t a n d I m p l e m e n t a t i o n C o m m i t t e e F R O M : T h e r e s i a T r e v i n o , C h i e f F i n a n c i a l O f f i c e r T H R O U G H : J o h n S t a n d i f o r d , D e p u t y E x e c u t i v e D i r e c t o r S U B J E C T : A n n u a l I n v e s t m e n t P o l i c y R e v i e w S T A F F R E C O M M E N D A T I O N : T h i s i t e m i s f o r t h e C o m m i t t e e t o : 1 ) A d o p t t h e A n n u a l I n v e s t m e n t P o l i c y ; a n d 2 ) F o r w a r d t o t h e C o m m i s s i o n f o r f i n a l a c t i o n .

Authorized individuals acting in accordance with this Policy and written procedures and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion. V. Objective The Commission's primary investment objectives, in priority order, shall be: 1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the Commission shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the portfolio. 2. Liquidity. The investment portfolio of the Commission will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the Commission to meet its cash flow requirements. 3. Return on Investment. The investment portfolio of the Commission shall be designed with the objective of maximizing return on its investments, but only after ensuring safety and liquidity. In order to maximize return on its investments, the Commission seeks an active rather than passive management of portfolio assets. The Commission may from time to time sell securities that it owns in order to better reposition its portfolio assets in accordance with updated cash flow schedules, yield curve optimizations, yield opportunities existing between market sectors, or simply market timing. VI. Investments California Government Code Section 53601 governs the investments permitted for purchase by the Commission. Within the investments permitted by Code, the Commission seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the investments listed in Section VI.1 below. Percentage limitations, where indicated, apply at the time of purchase. Percentage holdings with any one non -governmental issuer are further restricted to a maximum of 10%. Rating requirements where indicated, apply at the time of purchase. In the event a security held by the Commission is subject to a rating change that brings it below the minimum specified rating requirement, the Chief Financial Officer shall notify the Board of the change. The course of action to be followed will then be decided on a case -by -case basis, 3 " " " c o n s i d e r i n g s u c h f a c t o r s a s t h e r e a s o n f o r t h e r a t e d r o p , p r o g n o s i s f o r r e c o v e r y o r f u r t h e r r a t e d r o p s , a n d t h e , m a r k e t p r i c e o f t h e s e c u r i t y . 1 .

Safekeeping and Custody To protect the Commission's assets, all securities owned by the Commission shall be held in safekeeping in the Commission's name by a third party bank trust department, acting as agent for the Commission under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the Commission. All securities will be received and delivered using standard delivery versus payment (DVP) procedures; the Commission's safekeeping agent will only release payment for a security after the security has been properly delivered. Physical delivery securities shall be avoided whenever possible, as book entry securities are much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. In addition, delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss. increases with physically delivered securities. XIII. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest The Commission adopts the following policy concerning conflicts of interest: Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. 2. Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall disclose any material financial interest in any financial institution that conducts business with the Commission, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the Commission's portfolio. 3.

Plan of Finance Based on this need for additional financing capacity; staff has prepared a preliminary plan of finance with the assistance of its financing team to issue approximately $100 to $115 million of sales tax revenue bonds (2008 Bonds) to refinance a portion of the outstanding commercial paper; fund capitalized interest on the bonds through October 1, 2009, since sales tax receipts will not commence until September 2009; establish a reserve fund; and pay costs of issuance of the 2008 Bonds. The combination of the commercial paper program maximum debt capacity of $185 million and the proposed 2008 Bonds will not exceed the $500 million debt limitation specified in the 2009 Measure A. The proposed 2008 Bonds are long-term bonds due in June 2029. The general terms include an initial interest rate period through October 1, 2009, at which time the 2008 Bonds would be remarketed and a new long-term rate period would be established. In the unlikely event that the Commission does not have access to the capital markets on October 1, 2009, the existing bond holders would continue to own the 2008 Bonds and those bonds will bear an interest rate of 11 % until such time as the bonds can be remarketed. Considering the Commission's strong underlying credit ratings, at present there are no plans to obtain a liquidity facility, e.g., letter of credit; or credit enhancement, e.g., bond insurance, to support the 2008 Bonds. It will be repaid solely from 2009 Measure A sales tax receipts. The initial interest rate period coincides with the October 1, 2009, effective date of the Commission's forward -starting interest rate swaps aggregating a notional amount of $185 million. The financing team that has participated in the development of this proposed plan of finance is similar to the team for the commercial paper program and includes the following key members: • Financial Advisor: Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates; • Bond Counsel• Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP; • Disclosure Counsel: Nossaman; Guthner, Knox & Elliott LLP; • General Counsel: Best, Best & Krieger LLP; and • Underwriters/Remarketing Agents: Lehman Brothers and Banc of America Securities LLC.

The Commissioners may employ the services of experts to take the lead in the drafting and review of the official statement, but the Commissioners have the duty to review the information and bringto the attention of those responsible for the preparation of the offering document any misstatements or omissions in the draft and to ask questions if they are unclear about the information or their role. The financing team will be available at the Budget and Implementation Committee and Commission meetings to respond to the identification of any misstatements or omissions or to such questions. Anticipating Commission approval for this transaction on May 14, 2008, the pricing activities related to the 2008 Bonds are expected to occur through the end of May 2008 with a closing date of June 10, 2008 for the issuance of the 2008 Bonds. Current Credit Market Environment Recent events in the credit market and the related impacts on municipal bond insurers and large banking institutions cannot be overlooked as part of the proposed transaction. Accordingly, staff has obtained the attached memorandum from its financial advisor regarding the Commission's situation and risks as contemplated in the structure of the proposed transaction and recent challenges in the market. In order to proceed with the proposed plan of finance for the 2008 Bonds, staff is requesting that the Committee provide conceptual approval and direct staff to continue its efforts with the development of the proposed financing for the 2008 Bonds, including the required documents.

Wiles, Principal and General Counsel . Anna V. Racheva, Vice President Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates Re: Impact of Recent Market Events Date: Iblarch 14, 2008 ATTACHMENT 1 MEMORANDUM The Commission's Situation As noted in Ms. Trevino's memorandum, the Commission is considering the issuance of debt (the "2008 Bonds") to refinance approximately $100 million of its outstanding Commercial Paper obligations. As currently envisioned, the new bonds will be sold with a fixed rate until October 1, 2009. On that date, the Commission will need to remarket those bonds, that is, resell them to new investors. In addition, the Commission will also intend to market additional bonds on a similar basis to refinance the remaining $85 million of its original Commercial Paper program. In October 2009, when the Commission markets its bonds, the Commission will have a broad variety of options for the terms of the bonds, including the mode of interest sate (fixed or variable) and the type of security fox the bonds (enhanced with a bank letter of credit/bond insurance or based solely on sales tax revenues). Like any issuer of bonds, the Commission will face the types of risks that come with access to the capital markets. Interest rates can change, markets have greater and lesser demand, and certain types of features have greater or lesser value in the eyes of bond owners. The terms of the Commission's upcoming bond issue provide for a "penalty' rate —estimated to be 11 %. The penalty rate would be in effect for any period for which the Commission can not successfully remarket bonds, requiring the original holders to continue to retain them. The fast possibility of that occurrence is October 1, 2009, the date on which the original 2008 Bonds must be remarketed. If those bonds were not successfully remarketed on that date, the Commission would pay the 11% penalty rate until the 2008 Bonds can be remarketed or refinanced successfully. Recent Challenges to the Municipal Credit Matkets. Over the past 6-8 months, the markets for municipal bonds in the United States have been challenged on a number of fronts. The overall "credit crisis" and the reliance on "sub -prime" mortgages for the US housing market have winnowed the ranks of the municipal bond insurers. The uncertainty as to credit quality of insured paper is reflected in the drastically weakened demand for auction rate securities —bonds with a variable interest rate for which the current holder bears the risk of the unavailability of liquidity in the market for resale. In tum, the stress on large banking institutions has reduced the availability of traditional bank liquidity to support public finance transactions, and significantly raised the cost of that liquidity. 8.A1.TT.Comm.Fieldman Memo.Debt Issuance.doc 18 MEMORANDUM The Commission's Risks You have asked if the current transaction exposes the Commission to the risks highlighted by the market's recent troubles. We believe while the Commission will be exposed to some market risk by needing to remarket the 2008 Bonds and market additional bonds in 2009, we believe that the level of that risk is very low. Moreover, the Commission has such wide latitude in structuring its future financings that troubles in any specific market sector, Ile those seen in the past few months, generally can be avoided by the judicious selection of debt structure and the choice of the related market segment into which the bonds will be sold. Relating the Commission's Debt Structure to the Market The Commission's sales tax based debt is highly rated in the high AA category by both Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Rating Services. We anticipate a similar rating by FitchRatings. The most recent troubles in the municipal market stem from the impact of rating downgrades of the primary bond insurers. The exposure of the major AAA rated insurers to the risks from collateralized debt obligations and sub -prime mortgages has clouded the perceived financial strength of three of the four primary insurers. Only FSA has avoided significant credit impacts. Each other insurer has received at least one downgrade by one of the three major rating agencies. Moreover, Assured Guaranty, formerly a minor and new bond insurer, has seen its value rise significantly. In sum, the environment for municipal bond insurance, measured by the number of the participants, the cost of municipal bond insurance and the value of that insurance has changed dramatically. The effects of these changes in the bond insurance market tend to fall most heavily on issuers having underlying ratings in the A and BBB categories, the categories for which bond insurance has the most value. While well rated issuers, including the Commission, have issued insured debt, the primary rationale for the use of insurance has been to broaden market access, not specifically to enhance credit Well rated issuers of fixed rate debt have continued to have good market access to long term debt financing. Much of the market focus on troubles in municipal securities has centered on auction rate securities. Auction rate securities ("ARS") are variable rate securities used by a number of sophisticated issuers. The primary structural feature of ARS is that the holler of ARS takes the risk of remarketing at the time of each rate reset When an interest rate period, generally 7 days, ends, the designated broker -dealer holds an auction to determine the next interest rate. Purchasers provide their proposed rates and the lowest rate at which all of the ARS are remarketed is the rate payable on the ARS for the succeeding period. If there is a failure to remarket, the penalty rate applies and the existing holders of the ARS must continue to hold (absent sales on the open market). Holders of auction rate securities have reacted strongly to the weakening of bond insurers and have chosen to release their debt for remarketing without providing an auction bid. Over the past 4 weeks, this resulted in "failed remarketings" at which the ARS were reset to the penalty rate. We note that each issue for which this occurred has subsequently had its interest rate come down from the penalty rate on subsequent remarketings. However, the rates have not equaled the rates prevailing prior to early February 2008. This has prompted a number of issuers of ARS to consider remarketing of their securities on a different interest rate basis. At the same time that ARS issues were experiencing liquidity troubles, the primary providers of liquidity and credit support for more traditional variable rate debt were experiencing their own changes. A traditional variable rate bond program relies on external support for both liquidity and credit. Holders of traditional variable rate bonds do not take any risk of remarketing. The liquidity support allows the issuer to have sufficient funds to provide payment for those bondholders wishing to relinquish their bonds at any interest rate change. 8.A1.1T.Comm_Fieldman Memo.Debt lssuance.doe - 2 - 19 " M E M O R A N D U M T h e c u r r e n t t r o u b l e s i n t h e m a r k e t h a v e i m p a c t e d a n u m b e r o f t h e l a r g e b a n k i n g i n s t i t u t i o n s t h a t t e n d t o p r o v i d e t h e l i q u i d i t y a n d c r e d i t s u p p o r t M o r e o v e r , t h o s e i n s t i t u t i o n s t h a t c o n t i n u e t o p r o v i d e l e t t e r s o f c r e d i t , a r e a b l e t o c h a r g e s i g n i f i c a n t l y h i g h e r r a t e s f o r t h e i r s e r v i c e .

In the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Series 2008 Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes, although Bond Counsel observes that such interest is included in adjusted current earnings in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other federal or state tax consequences related to the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2008 Bonds. See "TAX EXEMPTION" herein.

Commission for Issuance The Series 2008 Bonds are being issued by the Commission under and pursuant to the Riverside County Transportation Sales Tax Act, being Division 25 of the Public Utilities Code of the State of California (Section 240000 et seq.) (the "Act"), an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2008 (the "2008 Indenture"), between the Commission and U.S. Bank National Association (the "Trustee") and the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2008 (the "First Supplemental Indenture" and, collectively with the 2008 Indenture, the "Indenture"). All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in APPENDIX C "SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE," or, if not defined therein, in the Indenture. Purpose The Series 2008 Bonds are being issued in order to (i) refinance a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Commission's Commercial Paper Notes (Limited Tax Bonds), Series A and Series B, as more particularly described herein (collectively, the "Notes"), (ii) fund capitalized interest on the Series 2008 Bonds to December 1, 2009, (iii) fund a reserve fund for the Series 2008 Bonds, and (vi) pay costs of issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds. Security The Series 2008 Bonds are limited obligations of the Commission payable from and secured by certain revenues (the "Revenues") pledged' under the Indenture, including a pledge of revenues (the "Sales Tax Revenues") derived from a '%-cent sales tax scheduled to take effect July 1, 2009 (the "Sales Tax"), imposed in accordance with the Act and the California Transactions and Use Tax Law (Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7251 et seq.), net of an administrative fee paid to the California State Board of Equalization (the "Board of Preliminary, subject to change. 1 29 Equalization") in connection with the collection and disbursement of the Sales Tax.

Issuance of Additional Series of Bonds. The Commission may by Supplemental Indenture establish one or more additional Series of Bonds payable from Revenues and secured by the pledge made under the Indenture equally and ratably with Bonds previously issued, but only upon compliance by the Commission with the provisions of the Indenture. Certain of the applicable provisions of the Indenture are described below: (a) No Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing. (b) The Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of such Series shall require that the balance in the Bond Reserve Fund, forthwith upon the receipt of the proceeds of the sale of Bonds of such Series, be increased, if necessary, to an amount at least equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement with respect to all Bonds to be considered Outstanding upon the issuance of Bonds of such Series. Said deposit may be made from the proceeds of the sale of Bonds of such Series or from other funds of the Commission or from both such sources or in the form of a letter of credit or surety bond or insurance policy as described under "SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE - Funding and Application of Bond Reserve Fund." (c) The Commission shall place on file with the Trustee a Certificate of the Commission certifying that the amount of Sales Tax Revenues and 1988 Sales Tax` Revenues collected during the Fiscal Year for which audited fmancial statements are available preceding the date on which such additional Series of Bonds will become Outstanding shall have been at least equal to 1.5 times Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Series of Bonds and Parity Obligations then Outstanding and the additional Series of Bonds then proposed to be issued, which Certificate shall also set forth the computations upon which such Certificate is based. Nothing in the Indenture shall prevent or be construed to prevent the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of an additional Series of Bonds from pledging or otherwise providing, in addition to the security given or intended to be given by the Indenture, additional security for the benefit of such additional Series of Bonds or any portion thereof. Issuance of Refunding Bonds. Refunding Bonds may be authorized and issued by the Commission without compliance with the provisions of the Indenture described above under "Issuance of Additional Series of Bonds" and other terms of the Indenture; provided that Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Bonds and Parity Debt Outstanding following the issuance of such Refunding Bonds is less than or equal to Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Bonds and Parity Debt Outstanding prior to the issuance of such Refunding Bonds. Issuance of Parity Debt. The Commission may also issue additional Parity Debt payable on a parity with the Bonds and which will have, when issued, an equal lien and charge upon the Sales Tax Revenues, provided that the conditions to the issuance of such Parity Debt set 16 44 " f o r t h i n t h e I n d e n t u r e a n d s u c h o t h e r a u t h o r i z i n g i n s t r u m e n t s a r e s a t i s f i e d , i n c l u d i n g t h e c o v e r a g e t e s t d e s c r i b e d i n s u b s e c t i o n ( c ) a b o v e u n d e r t h e c a p t i o n " I s s u a n c e o f A d d i t i o n a l S e r i e s o f B o n d s .

Many categories of transactions are exempt from the State Sales Tax and The SalesTax. The most important of these exemptions are: sales of food products for home consumption, prescription medicine, edible livestock and their feed, seed and fertilizer used in raising food for human consumption, and gas, electricity and water when delivering to consumers through mains, lines and pipes. In addition, "Occasional Sales" (i.e., sales of property not held or used by a seller in the course of activities for which he or she is required to hold a seller's permit) are generally exempt from The State Sales Tax and from The Sales Tax; however, the "Occasional Sales" exemption does not apply to the sale of an entire business and other sales of machinery and equipment used in a business. Sales of property to be used outside the county which are shipped to a point outside the county, pursuant to the contract of sale, by delivery to such point by the retailer, or by delivery by the retailer to a carrier for shipment to a consignee, at such point, are exempt from The State Sales Tax and from The Sales Tax. Action by the State Legislature or by voter initiative could change the transactions and items upon which The State Sales Tax and The Sales Tax are, imposed. The State Legislature could further change the transactions and items upon which The State Sales Tax and The Sales Tax are imposed. In addition, other voter initiative measures could be adopted, further affecting the receipt of sales tax revenues. Such changes or amendments could have either an adverse or beneficial effect on the sales tax revenues. The Commission is not currently aware of any proposed legislative change which would have a material adverse effect on sales tax revenues. See also "Proposition 218" below. Collection of Sales Tax Revenues Collection of The Sales Tax is administered by the California State Board of Equalization (the "BOE or the "State Board of Equalization"). The Commission and the State Board of Equalization have entered into an agreement for state administration of district transactions and use taxes to authorize payment of sales tax revenues directly to the trustee. The State Board of Equalization, after deducting amounts payable to itself, is required to remit the balance of amounts received from the sales tax directly to the trustee. The trustee is required to apply the Sales Tax Revenues to make deposits to the funds and accounts established under the indenture and to transfer the remaining amounts to U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as issuing and paying agent for the notes (the "Issuing and Paying Agent"). The remaining unapplied Sales Tax Revenues, if any, are transferred to the Commission for use for any purpose contemplated by the ordinance. The fee charged by the BOE to the Commission for fiscal year 2006-07 for collection of the 1988 Sales Tax was $1,412,100. The fee that the BOE is authorized to charge for collection of The Sales Tax is determined by State Legislation; there can be no assurances that the amount of this fee or the method for determining the amount of the fee will be the same in July, 2009, when. collection; of The Sales Tax commences. 1988 Sales Tax Revenues This tax represents an additional source of revenue to the Commission, is a separate tax from the Sales Tax and does not secure the Series 2008 Bonds. 18 46 " O n N o v e m b e r 8 , 1 9 8 8 , m o r e t h a n t w o - t h i r d s o f t h e v o t e r s a p p r o v e d t h e R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y T r a n s p o r t a t i o n C o m m i s s i o n T r a n s p o r t a t i o n E x p e n d i t u r e P l a n a n d R e t a i l T r a n s a c t i o n , a n d U s e T a x O r d i n a n c e ( t h e " P r i o r O r d i n a n c e " ) w h i c h a u t h o r i z e d t h e i m p o s i t i o n o f a r e t a i l t r a n s a c t i o n s a n d u s e t a x o f o n e - h a l f o f o n e p e r c e n t ( 0 . 5 % ) o f t h e g r o s s r e c e i p t s o f r e t a i l e r s f r o m t h e s a l e s o f a l l t a n g i b l e p e r s o n a l p r o p e r t y s o l d a t r e t a i l i n t h e c o u n t y a n d a u s e t a x a t t h e s a m e r a t e u p o n t h e s t o r a g e , u s e o r o t h e r c o n s u m p t i o n i n t h e c o u n t y o f s u c h p r o p e r t y p u r c h a s e d f r o m a n y r e t a i l e r f o r s t o r a g e , u s e o r o t h e r c o n s u m p t i o n i n t h e c o u n t y , s u b j e c t t o c e r t a i n l i m i t e d e x c e p t i o n s ( t h e " 1 9 8 8 S a l e s T a x " ) .

T h i s d e c l i n e i s h i g h e r t h a n w h a t 1 9 4 7 is being experienced at the state and national level with regard to sales tax receipts for this period. There can be no assurances if and when Sales Tax receipts will begin to increase. For a summary of historical taxable retail sales within the County see the table entitled "County of Riverside, Taxable Sales Transactions" in APPENDIX B of this Official Statement. THE COMMISSION General The Commission is charged with a number of important responsibilities in serving the residents of the county. Administering the prior sales tax program is by far the most prominent of these responsibilities since that program has raised more than $1 billion. The Commission, which has the responsibility of placing future transportation ballot measures before the public, was successful in November of 2002 in obtaining more than 2/3rds voter approval of the Sales Tax. In addition to the Commission's Measure A responsibilities, the Commission has also been designated as the congestion management agency (the"CMA") for the County. As the CMA, the Commission has developed a congestion management program that more effectively utilizes transportation funds by linking land use, transportation and air quality efforts. The Commission serves as the service authority for freeway emergencies and operates the freeway service patrol (the "FSP") for Riverside County. The results of these programs — 650 call boxes along the County roadways and 20 FSP tow trucks providing assistance to more than 55,000 motorists annually — are among the most visible of the Commission's programs. More recently, the State Legislature gave new authority to the Commission by changing the way funding is distributed from the State Transportation Improvement Program, which is funded through state and federal gas taxes. In simple terms, counties no longer apply to the State for funding their most urgent transportation needs. Instead, State transportation dollars are given directly as an entitlement, leaving the decision -making about transportation spending up to the designated county transportation commission like the Commission. While this gives the Commission greater control over how transportation dollars are spent, it also requires a much higher level of local communication and participation to determine how these dollars are spent throughout a county with so many transportation needs. In order to enhance county -wide participation and improve its decision -making, the Commission made a major change in its structure in 1999 by expanding the Board from eight members to thirty. The expanded Commission ensures better representation throughout the County and provides the participatory framework for continued success among these responsibilities. Commissioners Section 130053 of the California Public Utilities Code specifies that the Commission consists of five members of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, one member from each incorporated city in Riverside County (each of whom must be a mayor or member of the City 20 48 " C o u n c i l ) a n d o n e n o n - v o t i n g m e m b e r a p p o i n t e d b y t h e g o v e r n o r o f t h e S t a t e o f C a l i f o r n i a .

Without additional funds, the system will bog down and pavement will crumble into permanent disrepair... Local governments must either generate revenues to expand our system and maintain our investments or watch the system collapse and endanger the health, welfare and safety of all Riverside County residents. The goals of the Plan are as follows: (1) Maintain and improve the quality of life in Riverside County by supplementing existing funds for transportation; (2) provide for accountability in the expenditure of taxpayer funds; (3) provide for equity in the distribution of Measure "A" Revenues; and (4) provide for local control of the Transportation Improvement Program.. To address the concerns as expressed in the preamble, and to accomplish its goals and policies, the ordinance provided that sales tax revenues be distributed to the specific geographic areas of Riverside County (i.e., Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley) based on their proportionate share of revenues generated in the County, and that funds be allocated for highway and regional arterial projects, local streets and roads, transit and commuter rail, new corridors and economic development. In the Western County, $370 million is to be used for new corridor projects, $1.320 million for highway and regional arterial projects, $390 million for transit and commuter rail, $970 million for local street and road improvements, $270 million for bond financing costs, and the remaining $40 million for economic development projects. In the Coachella Valley, fifty percent is to be earmarked for its highway and regional arterial system, thirty-five percent for local streets and roads, and the remaining fifteen percent for transit. All Palo Verde Valley funds are designated for the maintenance of local streets and roads. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS Economy of the County and the State The level of sales tax revenues collected at any time is dependent upon the level of retail sales within the County, which level of retail sales is, in turn, dependent upon the level of economic activity in the County and in the State generally. As a result, any substantial deterioration in the level of economic activity within the County or in the State could have a material adverse impact upon the level of sales tax revenues and therefore upon the ability of the Commission to issue sales tax revenue bonds in the future. For information relating to current economic conditions within the County and the State see APPENDIX B - "COUNTY DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC INFORMATION."

Should interest become includable in federal gross income, the Series 2008 Bonds are not subject to redemption by reason thereof and will remain outstanding until maturity. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Commission for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007, included in APPENDIX A of this Official Statement, have been audited by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, certified public accountants, as stated in their report therein. McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was not requested to consent to the inclusion of its report in APPENDIX A, nor has it undertaken to update its report or to take any action intended or likely to elicit information concerning the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements made in this Official Statement, and no opinion is expressed by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP with respect to any event subsequent to the date of its report. Except as described herein, the Commission represents that there has been no material adverse change in its financial position since June 30, 2007. LITIGATION There is not now pending any litigation restraining or enjoining the issuance or delivery of the Bonds or questioning or affecting the validity of the Bonds or the proceedings and authority under which they are to be issued. Neither the creation, organization or existence of the Commission, nor the title of the present members of the Commission to their respective offices is being contested. TAX EXEMPTION In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel, based on existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, interest on the Series 2008 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. A complete copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in Appendix E. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code') imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Series 2008 Bonds. The Commission has covenanted to comply with certain restrictions designed to assure that interest on the Series 2008 Bonds will not be included in federal gross income. Failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Series 2008 Bonds being included in federal gross income, possibly from the date of issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes compliance with such covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any action taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date of issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds may affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on the Series 2008 Bonds. Further, no assurance can be given that pending or future legislation or amendments to the Code, will not adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Series 2008 Bonds. Prospective owners are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to proposals to restructure the federal income tax. 24 52 " B o n d C o u n s e l i s f u r t h e r o f t h e o p i n i o n t h a t i n t e r e s t o n t h e S e r i e s 2 0 0 8 B o n d s i s n o t a s p e c i f i c p r e f e r e n c e i t e m f o r p u r p o s e s o f t h e f e d e r a l i n d i v i d u a l o r c o r p o r a t e a l t e r n a t i v e m i n i m u m t a x e s .

D - 1 6 0 Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to DTC Direct Participants, by DTC Direct Participants to DTC Indirect Participants, and by DTC Direct Participants and DTC" 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. Redemption notices will be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Series 2008 Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each DTC Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to Series 2008 Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Commission as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those DTC Direct Participants to whose accounts the Series 2008 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Series 2008 Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit DTC Direct Participants' accounts on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on a payment date. Payments by DTCParticipants 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 DTC Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the Commission, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to DTC Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and DTC Indirect Participants. The Commission and the Trustee cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will distribute to the Beneficial Owners (i) principal and interest on the Series 2008 Bonds, (ii) certificates representing an ownership interest in or other confirmation of ownership interests in the Series 2008 Bonds, or (iii) redemption or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its nominee, as registered owner of the Series 2008 Bonds, or that they will do so on a timely basis or that DTC, DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will service and act in the manner described in the Official Statement. The Commission and the Trustee will be entitled to treat the person in whose name any Series 2008 Bond is registered as the Bond Owner thereof for all purposes of the Indenture and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the Trustee or the Commission; and the Commission and the Trustee will have no responsibility for transmitting payments to, communication with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any Beneficial Owners of the Series 2008 Bonds. Neither the Commission nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or obligations, legal or otherwise, to the Beneficial Owners or to any other party including DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its successor), except for the registered owner of any Series 2008 Bond.

SECTION 2.08 Temporary Bonds. The Bonds may be issued in temporary form exchangeable for defmitive Bonds when ready for delivery. Any temporary Bond may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such denomination as may be determined by the Commission, shall be in registered form and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. A temporary Bond may be in the form of a single Bond payable in installments, each on the date, in the amount and at the rate of interest established for the Bonds maturing on such date. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the'Commission and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the defmitive Bonds. If the Commission issues temporary Bonds the Commission will execute and deliver definitive Bonds as promptly thereafter as practicable, and thereupon the temporary Bonds may be surrendered, for cancellation, in exchange therefor at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations of the same Series, tenor and maturity or maturities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 2.09 Bonds Mutilated. Lost; Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Commission, at the expense of the Holder of said Bond, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like Series, tenor, maturity and interest rate in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee and delivered to, or upon the Order of, the Commission. If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Commission and to the Trustee and, if such evidence be satisfactory to both and indemnity satisfactory to both shall be given, the Commission, at the expense of the Holder, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like Series, tenor, maturity and interest rate in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have matured or shall have'been called for redemption, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof upon receipt of the aforementioned indenmity). The Commission may require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Bond issued under this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Commission and the Trustee in the premises. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on the part of the Commission whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all other Bonds secured by this Indenture. Neither the Commission nor the Trustee shall be required to treat both the original Bond and any replacement Bond as being Outstanding for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Bonds which may be issued hereunder or for the purpose of determining any percentage of Bonds Outstanding hereunder, but both the original and replacement Bond shall be treated as one and the same.

SECTION 4.02 Notice of Redemption. Unless otherwise specified in a Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms and provisions of a Series of Bonds, each notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Trustee, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, to each Holder and each of the Repositories. A copy of such notice shall also be provided to each of the Notice Parties with respect to Series of Bonds to which such notice relates. Notice of redemption to the Holders, the Repositories and the applicable Notice Parties shall be given by fast class mail. Each notice of redemption shall state the date of such notice, the date of issue of the Series of Bonds to which such notice relates, the redemption date, the Redemption Price, the place or places of redemption (including the name and appropriate address or addresses of the Trustee), the CUSIP number (if any) of the maturity or maturities, and, if less than all of any such maturity, the distinctive certificate numbers of the Bonds of such maturity, if any, to be redeemed and, in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the respective portions of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Each such notice shall also state that on said date there will become due and payable on each of said Bonds the Redemption Price thereof or of said specified portion of the principal amount thereof in the case of a Bond to. be redeemed in part only, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, and that from and after such redemption date interest thereon shall cease to accrue, and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the address or addresses of the Trustee specified in the redemption notice. Neither the Commission nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP number that appears on any Bond or in any redemption notice with respect thereto, and any such redemption notice may contain a statement to the effect that CUSIP numbers have been assigned by an independent service for convenience of reference and that neither the Commission nor the Trustee shall be liable for any inaccuracy in such CUSIP numbers. Failure by the Trustee to give notice to any Notice Party or any one or more of the Repositories or failure of any Holder, any Notice Party or any Repository to receive notice or any defect in any such notice shall not affect the sufficiency or validity of the proceedings for redemption. With respect to any notice of optional redemption of Bonds delivered pursuant to this Section 4.02 or any provision of any Supplemental Indenture, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of Article X hereof, such notice shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of amounts sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such amounts shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Commission shall not be required to redeem such Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such amounts are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice to the Holders to the effect that such amounts were not so received and such redemption was not made, such notice to be given by the Trustee in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

(B) As long as any Bonds are Outstanding or any Parity Obligations remain unpaid, the Commission hereby assigns and shall cause Sales Tax Revenues to be transmitted by the State Board of Equalization directly to the Trustee. The Trustee shall forthwith deposit in a trust fund, designated as the "Revenue Fund," which fund the Trustee shall establish and maintain, all Sales Tax Revenues, when and as received by the Trustee. The Sales Tax Revenues shall be received and held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and the Parity Obligations and shall be disbursed, allocated and applied solely for the uses and purposes set forth in this Indenture. Investment income on amounts held by the Trustee hereunder (other than amounts held in the Rebate Fund or for which particular instructions, such as with respect to a Project Fund, a Letter of Credit Account or a Purchase Fund, are provided in a Supplemental Indenture), shall also be deposited in the Revenue Fund. All moneys at any held in the Revenue Fund shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and the holders of Parity Obligations and shall be disbursed, allocated and applied solely for the uses and purposes set forth in this Indenture: (C) The Bonds are limited obligations of the Commission and are payable as to both principal and interest, and any premium upon redemption thereof, exclusively from the Revenues and other funds pledged hereunder. SECTION 5.02 Allocation of Sales Tax Revenues. (A) So long as any Bonds are Outstanding and Panty Obligations, Subordinate Obligations, and all other amounts payable hereunder remain unpaid, the Trustee shall set aside in each month following receipt of the Sales Tax Revenues the moneys in the Revenue Fund in the following respective funds (each of which the Trustee shall establish, maintain and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and, as and to the extent applicable, the holders of Panty Obligations) in the following amounts, in the following order of priority, the requirements of each such fund (including the making up of any deficiencies in any such fund resulting from lack of Revenues sufficient to make any earlier required deposit) at the time of deposit to be satisfied before any deposit is made to any fund subsequent in priority; provided that on a parity with such deposits the Trustee may set aside or transfer amounts with respect to any outstanding Panty Obligations as provided in the proceedings for such Panty Obligations delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05 (which shall be proportionate in the event such amounts are insufficient to provide for all deposits required as of any date to be made with respect to the Bonds and such Parity Obligations); provided further that payments on Interest Rate Swap Agreements that are payable on a parity with the Bonds shall be payable from the Interest Fund and the required deposits below shall be adjusted to include payments on such Interest Rate Swap Agreements in accordance with Section 5.10: (1) Interest Fund. Following receipt of the Sales Tax Revenues in each month, the Trustee shall set aside in the Interest Fund as soon as practicable in such month an amount equal to (a) one -sixth of the aggregate half -yearly amount of interest becoming due and payable on the Outstanding Current Interest Bonds (except for Bonds constituting Variable Rate Indebtedness which shall be governed by subparagraph (b) OHS West:260379475.5 34 116 " " " b e l o w ) d u r i n g t h e n e x t e n s u i n g s i x ( 6 ) m o n t h s ( e x c l u d i n g a n y i n t e r e s t f o r w h i c h t h e r e a r e m o n e y s d e p o s i t e d i n t h e I n t e r e s t F u n d f r o m t h e p r o c e e d s o f a n y S e r i e s o f B o n d s o r o t h e r s o u r c e a n d r e s e r v e d a s c a p i t a l i z e d i n t e r e s t t o p a y s u c h i n t e r e s t d u r i n g s a i d n e x t e n s u i n g s i x ( 6 ) m o n t h s ) , u n t i l t h e r e q u i s i t e h a l f - y e a r l y a m o u n t o f i n t e r e s t o n a l l s u c h O u t s t a n d i n g C u r r e n t I n t e r e s t B o n d s ( e x c e p t f o r B o n d s c o n s t i t u t i n g V a r i a b l e R a t e I n d e b t e d n e s s w h i c h s h a l l b e g o v e r n e d b y s u b p a r a g r a p h ( b ) b e l o w ) i s o n d e p o s i t i n s u c h f u n d ; p r o v i d e d t h a t f r o m t h e d a t e o f d e l i v e r y o f a S e r i e s o f C u r r e n t I n t e r e s t B o n d s u n t i l t h e f i r s t I n t e r e s t P a y m e n t D a t e w i t h r e s p e c t t o s u c h S e r i e s o f B o n d s t h e a m o u n t s s e t a s i d e i n s u c h f u n d w i t h r e s p e c t t o s u c h S e r i e s o f B o n d s s h a l l b e s u f f i c i e n t o n a m o n t h l y p r o r a t a b a s i s t o p a y t h e a g g r e g a t e a m o u n t o f i n t e r e s t b e c o m i n g d u e a n d p a y a b l e o n s a i d I n t e r e s t P a y m e n t D a t e w i t h r e s p e c t t o s u c h S e r i e s o f B o n d s , p l u s ( b ) t h e a g g r e g a t e a m o u n t o f i n t e r e s t t o a c c r u e d u r i n g t h a t m o n t h o n O u t s t a n d i n g V a r i a b l e R a t e I n d e b t e d n e s s , c a l c u l a t e d , i f t h e a c t u a l r a t e o f i n t e r e s t i s n o t k n o w n , a t t h e i n t e r e s t r a t e s p e c i f i e d i n w r i t i n g b y t h e C o m m i s s i o n , o r i f t h e C o m m i s s i o n s h a l l n o t h a v e s p e c i f i e d a n i n t e r e s t r a t e i n w r i t i n g , c a l c u l a t e d a t t h e m a x i m u m i n t e r e s t r a t e b o r n e b y s u c h V a r i a b l e R a t e I n d e b t e d n e s s d u r i n g t h e m o n t h p r i o r t o t h e m o n t h o f d e p o s i t p l u s o n e h u n d r e d ( 1 0 0 ) b a s i s p o i n t s ( p r o v i d e d , h o w e v e r , t h a t t h e a m o u n t o f s u c h d e p o s i t i n t o t h e I n t e r e s t F u n d f o r a n y m o n t h m a y b e r e d u c e d b y t h e a m o u n t b y w h i c h t h e d e p o s i t i n t h e p r i o r m o n t h e x c e e d e d t h e a c t u a l a m o u n t o f i n t e r e s t a c c r u e d a n d p a i d d u r i n g t h a t m o n t h o n s a i d O u t s t a n d i n g V a r i a b l e R a t e I n d e b t e d n e s s a n d p r o v i d e d f u r t h e r t h a t t h e a m o u n t o f s u c h d e p o s i t i n t o t h e I n t e r e s t F u n d f o r a n y m o n t h s h a l l b e i n c r e a s e d b y t h e a m o u n t b y w h i c h t h e d e p o s i t i n t h e p r i o r m o n t h w a s l e s s t h a n t h e a c t u a l a m o u n t o f i n t e r e s t a c c r u i n g d u r i n g t h a t m o n t h o n s a i d O u t s t a n d i n g V a r i a b l e R a t e I n d e b t e d n e s s ) .

All of the aforesaid deposits made in connection with future Mandatory Sinking Account Payments shall be made without priority of any payment into any one such Sinking Account over any other such payment. In the event that the Sales Tax Revenues shall not be sufficient to make the required deposits so that moneys in the Principal Fund on any principal or mandatory redemption date are equal to the amount of Bond Obligation to become due and payable on the Outstanding Serial Bonds of all Series plus the Bond Obligation amount of and redemption premium on the Outstanding Term Bonds required to be redeemed or paid at maturity on such date, then such moneys shall be applied on a Proportionate Basis and in such proportion as said Serial Bonds and said Tenn Bonds shall bear to each other, after first deducting for such purposes from said Term Bonds any of said Term Bonds required to be redeemed annually as shall have been redeemed or purchased during the preceding 12-month period and any of said Tenn Bonds required to be redeemed semiannually as shall have been redeemed or purchased during the six-month period ending on such date or the immediately preceding six month period. In the event that the Sales Tax Revenues shall not be sufficient to pay in full all Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be paid at any one time into all such Sinking Accounts, then payments into all such Sinking Accounts shall be made on a Proportionate Basis, in 'proportion that the respective Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be made into each Sinking Account during the then current 12-month period bear to the aggregate of all of the Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be made into all such Sinking Accounts during such 12-month period. No deposit need be made into the Principal Fund so long as there shall be in such fund (i) moneys sufficient to pay the Bond Obligations of all Serial Bonds issued hereunder and then Outstanding and maturing by their terms within the next twelve (12) months plus (ii) the aggregate of all Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be made in such 12-month period, but less any amounts deposited into the Principal Fund during such 12-month period and theretofore paid from the Principal Fund to redeem or purchase Tenn Bonds during such 12-month period; provided that if the Commission certifies to the Trustee that any principal payments are expected to be refunded on or prior to their respective due dates or paid from amounts on deposit in a Bond Reserve Fund that would be in excess of the Bond Reserve Requirement applicable to such Bond Reserve Fund upon such payment, no amounts need be on deposit with respect to such principal payments. At the beginning of each Fiscal Year and in any event not later than June 1 of each year, the Trustee shall request from the Commission a Certificate of the Commission setting forth the principal payments for which deposits will not be necessary pursuant to the preceding sentence and the reason therefor.

The Commission hereby covenants and agrees to transfer to the Trustee from any Revenues in its possession the amount of such deficiency on or prior to the principal, interest or mandatory redemption date referenced in such notice. SECTION 5.03 Application of Interest Fund. All amounts in the Interest Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purposes of (a) paying interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds purchased or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to this Indenture), or for reimbursing the Credit Provider for a drawing for such purposes made on Credit Enhancement provided in the form of an irrevocable, direct -pay letter of credit, and (b) making periodic payments on Interest Rate Swap Agreements, as provided in Section 5.10. SECTION 5.04 Application of Principal Fund. (A) All amounts in the Principal Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purposes of paying the Bond Obligation of the Bonds when due and payable, except that all amounts in the Sinking Accounts shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely to purchase or redeem or pay at maturity Tenn Bonds, as provided herein, or for reimbursing the Credit Provider for a drawing for such purposes made on Credit Enhancement provided in the form of an irrevocable, direct -pay letter of credit. (B) The Trustee shall establish and maintain within the Principal Fund a separate account for the Term Bonds of each Series and maturity, designated as the " Sinking Account," inserting therein the Series and maturity designation of such Bonds. On or before the Business Day prior to any date upon which a Mandatory Sinking Account Payment is due, the Trustee shall transfer the amount of such Mandatory Sinking Account Payment (being the principal thereof, in the case of Current Interest Bonds, and the Accreted Value, in the case of Capital Appreciation Bonds) from the Principal Fund to the applicable Sinking Account. With respect to each Sinking Account, on each Mandatory Sinking Account Payment date established for such Sinking Account, the Trustee shall apply the Mandatory Sinking Account Payment required on that date to the redemption (or payment at maturity, as the case may be) of Term Bonds of such Series and maturity for which such Sinking Account was established, in the manner provided in this Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Series of Bonds was created; provided that, at any time prior to giving such notice of such redemption, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Request of the Commission, apply moneys in such Sinking Account to the purchase of Tenn Bonds of such Series and maturity at public or private sale, as and when and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges, but excluding accrued interest, which is payable from the Interest Fund) as is directed by the Commission, except that the purchase price (excluding accrued interest, in the case of Current Interest Bonds) shall not exceed the principal amount or AccretedValue thereof. If, during the 12-month period (or six- month period with respect to Bonds having semi-annual Mandatory Sinking Account Payments) immediately preceding said Mandatory Sinking Account Payment date, the Trustee has purchased Term Bonds of such Series and maturity with moneys in such Sinking Account, or, during said period and prior to giving said notice of redemption, the Commission has deposited Term Bonds of such Series and maturity with the Trustee, or Term Bonds of such Series and maturity were at any time purchased or redeemed by the Trustee from the Redemption Fund and OHS Wes1:260379475.5 38 120 " a l l o c a b l e t o s a i d M a n d a t o r y S i n k i n g A c c o u n t P a y m e n t , s u c h T e r m B o n d s s o p u r c h a s e d o r d e p o s i t e d o r r e d e e m e d s h a l l b e a p p l i e d , t o t h e e x t e n t o f t h e f u l l p r i n c i p a l a m o u n t t h e r e o f , t o r e d u c e s a i d M a n d a t o r y S i n k i n g A c c o u n t P a y m e n t .

If the Commission shall fail to deposit a replacement Reserve Facility with the Trustee, the Commission shall immediately commence to make monthly deposits with the Trustee so that an amount equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement relating to the Bonds to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates will be on deposit in such Bond Reserve Fund no later than the stated expiration date of the letter of credit. If an amount equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement relating to the Bonds to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates as of the date following the expiration of the letter of credit is not on deposit in such Bond Reserve Fund one (1) week prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit (excluding from such determination the letter of credit), the Trustee shall draw on the letter of credit to fimd the deficiency resulting therefrom in such Bond Reserve Fund. (B) In lieu of making a Bond Reserve Requirement deposit in cash or in replacement of moneys then on deposit in a Bond Reserve Fund (which shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Commission) or in substitution of any Reserve Facility comprising part of a Bond Reserve Requirement for any Bonds, the Commission may, at any time and from time to time, deliver to the Trustee a surety bond or an insurance policy securing an amount which, together with moneys, Investment Securities, or other Reserve Facilities then on deposit in a Bond Reserve Fund, is no less than the Bond Reserve Requirement relating to the Bonds to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates. Such surety bond or insurance policy shall be issued by an insurance company whose unsecured debt obligations (or for which obligations secured by such insurance company's insurance policies) are rated at the time of delivery in one of the two highest Rating Categories of Moody's and Standard & Poor's. Such surety bond or insurance policy shall have a term of no less than the final maturity of the Bonds in connection with which such surety bond or insurance policy is obtained. In the event that such surety bond or insurance policy for any reason lapses or expires, the Commission shall immediately implement (i) or (iii) of the preceding paragraph or make twelve equal monthly deposits to such Bond Reserve Fund so that the Bond Reserve Fund is replenished to the required level after a year. (C) Subject to Section 5.05(E), all amounts in any Bond Reserve Fund (including all amounts which may be obtained from a Reserve Facility on deposit in such Bond Reserve Fund) shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee, as hereinafter provided: (i) for the purpose of making up any deficiency in the Interest Fund or the Principal Fund relating to the Bonds of the Series to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates; or (ii) together with any other moneys available therefor, (x) for the payment or redemption of all Bonds then Outstanding of the Series to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates, (y) for the defeasance or redemption of all or a portion of the Bonds then Outstanding of the Series to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates, provided, however, that if funds on deposit in any Bond Reserve Fund are applied to the defeasance or redemption of a portion of the Series of Bonds to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates, the amount on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund immediately subsequent to such partial defeasance or redemption shall equal the Bond Reserve Requirement applicable to all Bonds of such Series Outstanding immediately subsequent to such partial defeasance or redemption, or (z) for the payment of the fmal principal and interest payment of. the Bonds of such Series. Unless otherwise directed in a Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms and provisions of a Series of Bonds, the Trustee shall apply amounts held in cash or Investment Securities in any Bond Reserve Fund prior to applying amounts held in the form of Reserve Facilities in any Bond Reserve Fund, and if there is more than one Reserve Facility being held on deposit in any Bond OHS West:260379475.5 40 122 i Reserve Fund, shall, on a pro rata basis with respect to the portion of a Bond Reserve Fund held in the form of a Reserve Facility (calculated by reference to the maximum amount of such Reserve Facility), draw under each Reserve Facility issued with respect to such Bond Reserve Fund, in a timely manner and pursuant to the terms of such Reserve Facility to the extent necessary in order to obtain sufficient funds on or prior to the date such funds are needed to pay the Bond Obligation of, Mandatory Sinking Account Payments with respect to, and interest on the Bonds of the Series to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates when due. In the event that the Trustee has notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Bond has been recovered from a Holder pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the fmal, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Trustee, pursuant to the terms of, and if so provided by, the terms of the Reserve Facility, if any, securing the Bonds of such Series, shall so notify the issuer thereof and draw on such Reserve Facility to the lesser of the extent required or the maximum amount of such Reserve Facility in order to pay to such Holders the principal and interest so recovered. (D) The Trustee shall notify the Commission of any deficiency in any Bond Reserve Fund (i) due to a withdrawal from such Bond Reserve Fund for purposes of making up any deficiency in the Interest Fund or the Principal Fund relating to the Bonds of the Series to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates or (ii) resulting from a valuation of Investment Securities held on deposit in such Bond Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 5.11 and shall request that the Commission replenish such deficiency or repay any and all obligations due and payable under the terms of any Reserve Facility comprising part of any Bond Reserve Requirement. Upon receipt of such notification from the Trustee, the Commission shall instruct the Trustee to commence setting aside in each month following receipt of Sales Tax Revenues for deposit in the applicable Bond Reserve Fund an amount equal to one -twelfth (1/12th) of the aggregate amount of each unreplenished prior withdrawal from such Bond.

(E) Unless the Commission shall otherwise direct in writing, any amounts in any Bond Reserve Fund in excess of the Bond Reserve Requirement relating to the Bonds of the Series to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Commission on the Business Day following June 1 of each year; provided that such amounts shall be transferred only from the portion of such Bond Reserve Fund held in the form of cash or Investment Securities. In addition, amounts on deposit in any Bond Reserve Fund shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Commission upon the defeasance, retirement or refunding of Bonds of the Series to which such Bond Reserve Fund relates or upon the replacement of cash on deposit in such Bond Reserve Fund with one or more Reserve Facilities in accordance with Section 5.05(A) or Section 5.05(B). The Bond Reserve Requirement is only required to be OHS West:260379475.5 41 123 calculated upon the issuance or retirement of a Series of Bonds or upon the defeasance of all or a portion of a Series of Bonds. SECTION 5.06 Application of Subordinate Obligations Fund.

SECTION 5.07 Application of Fees and Expenses Fund. All amounts in the Fees and Expenses Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying fees, expenses and similar charges owed by the Commission in connection with the Bonds or any Parity Obligations or Subordinate Obligations as such amounts shall become due and payable. SECTION 5.08 Application of Redemption Fund. The Trustee shall establish; maintain and hold in trust a special fund designated as the "Redemption Fund." All moneys deposited by the Commission with the Trustee for the purpose of optionally redeeming Bonds of any Series shall, unless otherwise directed by the Commission, be deposited in the Redemption Fund.

All Term Bonds purchased or redeemed from the Redemption Fund shall be allocated to Mandatory Sinking Account Payments applicable to such Series and maturity of Tenn Bonds as may be specified in a Request of the Commission. SECTION 5.09 Rebate Fund. (A) Upon receipt of funds to be applied to the Rebate Requirement, the Trustee shall establish and maintain a fund separate from any other fund established and maintained hereunder designated as the Rebate Fund.

SECTION 11.09 Disqualified Bonds. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate Bond Obligation of Bonds have concurred in any demand, request, direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Bonds that are owned or held by or for the account of the Commission, or by any other obligor on the Bonds, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, the Commission or any other obligor on the Bonds, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Bonds so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Bonds and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, the Commission. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. SECTION 11.10 Money Held for Particular Bonds. The money held by the Trustee for the payment of the interest, principal, Redemption Price or purchase price due on any date with respect to particular Bonds (or portions of Bonds in the case of registered Bonds redeemed in part only) shall, on and after such date and pending such payment, be set aside on its books and held in trust by it for the Holders of the Bonds entitled thereto, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 10.04. SECTION 11.11 Funds and Accounts. Any fund required by this Indenture to be established and maintained by the Trustee may be established and maintained in the accounting records of the Trustee, either as a fund or an account, and may, for the purposes or statements with respect thereto, be treated either as a fund or as an account; but all such records with respect to all such funds shall at all times be maintained in accordance with customary standards of the corporate trust industry, to the extent practicable, and with due regard for the protection of the security of the Bonds and the rights of every holder thereof. SECTION 11.12 Limitations on Rights of Credit Providers Liquidity Providers, Reserve Facility Providers. A Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms and provisions of a Series of Bonds may provide that any Credit Provider, Liquidity Provider or Reserve Facility Provider may exercise any right under this Indenture given to the Holders of the Bonds to which such Credit Enhancement, Liquidity Facility or Reserve Facility relates. All provisions under this Indenture authorizing the exercise of rights by a Credit Provider, a Liquidity Provider or a Reserve Facility Provider with respect to consents, approvals, directions, waivers, appointments, requests or other actions, shall be deemed not to require or permit such consents, approvals, directions, waivers, appointments, requests or other actions and shall be read as if the Credit Provider, Liquidity Provider or Reserve Facility Provider were not mentioned therein (i) during any period during which there is a default by such Credit Provider, Liquidity Provider or Reserve Facility Provider under the applicable Credit Enhancement, Liquidity Facility or Reserve Facility or (ii) after the applicable Credit Enhancement, Liquidity Facility or Reserve Facility shall at any time for any reason cease to be valid and binding on the provider thereof, or shall be declared to OHS West:260379475.5 66 148 " b e n u l l a n d v o i d b y f i n a l j u d g m e n t o f a c o u r t o f c o m p e t e n t j u r i s d i c t i o n , o r a f t e r t h e C r e d i t E n h a n c e m e n t , L i q u i d i t y F a c i l i t y o r R e s e r v e F a c i l i t y h a s b e e n r e s c i n d e d , r e p u d i a t e d b y t h e p r o v i d e r t h e r e o f o r t e r m i n a t e d , o r a f t e r a r e c e i v e r , c o n s e r v a t o r o r l i q u i d a t o r h a s b e e n a p p o i n t e d f o r t h e p r o v i d e r t h e r e o f .

In a timely fashion following the determination of any Rate, the Remarketing Agent establishing such Rate shall give written notice or notice by Electronic Means thereof to the Commission and the Trustee. Such notice shall also include details as to the principal amount of the 2008 Bonds and the Interest Rate Determination Method at the time applicable. Promptly upon receipt of notice from a Remarketing Agent of any Fixed Rate, the Trustee shall give the Holder of each 2008 Bond being converted to a Fixed Rate notice of the Fixed Rate. 14.05(a)(viii) Absence of Remarketing Agent; Binding Determination. If no Remarketing Agent shall be serving hereunder with respect to the 2008 Bonds (other than 2008 Bonds in a Fixed Rate Period), the determination of the applicable Rate Index shall be made by the Trustee at the direction of the Commission. The determination of any Rate or Rate Index by a Remarketing Agent or, as aforesaid, the Trustee, at the direction •of the Commission, with respect to any 2008 Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Commission, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, each 2008 Credit Provider, each 2008 Liquidity Provider and the Holder of such 2008 Bond. 14.05(a)(ix) No Liability. In determining the interest rate that any 2008 Bond shall bear as provided in this Section 14.05, neither the Remarketing Agent nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Commission or the Holder of such 2008 Bond, except for its negligence or willful misconduct. 14.05(b) Conversion of Interest Rate Determination Method. 14.05(b)(i) Right of Conversion. The Interest Rate Determination Method for any Outstanding 2008 Bonds is subject to Conversion from time to time by the Commission, with such right to be exercised by delivery of a written notice of an Authorized Representative (each such notice being a "Conversion Notice") to the Notice Parties as follows: OHS Wesc260379565.5 I 169 " " ( 1 ) a t l e a s t f o u r ( 4 ) B u s i n e s s D a y s p r i o r t o t h e t h i r t i e t h ( 3 0 t h ) d a y p r e c e d i n g t h e e f f e c t i v e d a t e o f s u c h p r o p o s e d C o n v e r s i o n , i n t h e e v e n t o f a C o n v e r s i o n t o a D a i l y R a t e P e r i o d , W e e k l y R a t e P e r i o d o r C o m m e r c i a l P a p e r R a t e P e r i o d ; a n d ( 2 ) a t l e a s t f i v e ( 5 ) B u s i n e s s D a y s p r i o r t o t h e t h i r t i e t h ( 3 0 t h ) d a y p r e c e d i n g t h e e f f e c t i v e d a t e o f s u c h p r o p o s e d C o n v e r s i o n , i n t h e e v e n t o f a C o n v e r s i o n t o a L o n g - T e r m R a t e o r a F i x e d R a t e .

The Commission shall have the right at any time to provide, pursuant to Section 15.14, an Alternate Liquidity Facility for any 2008 Liquidity Facility then in effect. If there shall have been delivered to the Trustee (i) an Alternate Liquidity Facility meeting the requirements of Section 15.14 and (ii) the opinions and documents required by Section 15.14, then the Trustee shall accept such Altemate Liquidity Facility and, if so directed by the Commission, on or after the effective date of such Alternate Liquidity Facility promptly surrender the 2008 Liquidity Facility being so substituted in accordance with the respective terms thereof for cancellation; provided the Trustee shall not surrender any 2008 Liquidity Facility until all draws or requests to purchase 2008 Bonds made under such 2008 Liquidity Facility have been honored in accordance with the terms thereof, including all draws required to be made in connection with such substitution. In the event that the Commission elects to provide an Alternate Liquidity Facility with respect to the 2008 Bonds, the 2008 Bonds shall be subject to the mandatory tender provisions of Section 15.05(a)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time there shall cease to be 2008 Bonds Outstanding or if all the Outstanding 2008 Bonds have been converted to a Fixed Rate Period or a Long -Term Rate Period, or a 2008 Liquidity Facility shall be terminated pursuant to its terms, the Trustee shall promptly surrender such 2008 Liquidity Facility in accordance with its terms for cancellation. The Trustee shall comply with the procedures set forth in each 2008 Liquidity Facility relating to the termination thereof. (b) In the event that a 2008 Liquidity Facility is in effect, the Trustee shall make a demand for payment under such 2008 Liquidity Facility, subject to and in accordance with its terms, in order to receive payment thereunder on each Purchase Date for such 2008 Bonds as provided in Section 15.09(a)(iv), Section 15.09(b)(iv) or Section 15.09(c)(iv), as applicable. (c) Each such demand for payment shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with this Indenture. The Trustee shall give notice of each such demand for payment to the Commission at the time of each such demand. The proceeds of each such demand shall be deposited in the 2008 Liquidity Facility Purchase Account within the 2008 Bonds Purchase Fund and used in the order of priority established by Section 15.11. At the time of making any demand under a 2008 Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 15.13(b), the Trustee shall direct the 2008 Liquidity Provider to pay the proceeds of such demand directly to the Trustee for deposit in the 2008 Liquidity Facility Purchase Account. The Trustee shall comply with all provisions of each 2008 Liquidity Facility in order to realize upon any demand for payment thereunder, and will not demand payment under any 2008 Liquidity Facility of any amounts for payment of: (i) 2008 Liquidity Facility Bonds; or (ii) 2008 Bonds held by the Commission or actually known by the Trustee to be held by any affiliate of the Commission or any nominee of the Commission unless such 2008 Liquidity Facility specifically permits such demand. (d) Any 2008 Bonds purchased with payments made under a 2008 Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 15.13(b) shall constitute 2008 Liquidity Facility Bonds and shall be registered in the name of, or as otherwise directed by, the applicable Liquidity Provider and delivered to or upon the order of, or as otherwise directed by, such Liquidity Provider.

Such notice shall further state that on such Optional Purchase Date there shall become due and payable upon each 2008 Bond to be purchased, the Optional Purchase Price thereof, or the Optional Purchase Price of the specified portions of the principal amount thereof to be purchased in the case of 2008 Bonds to be purchased in part only, and that from and after such Optional Purchase Date interest on such 2008 Bond for the benefit of the current Holder of such 2008 Bond or the portion of such 2008 Bond to be purchased shall cease to accrue and be payable. Receipt of such notice of mandatory tender for purchase shall not be a condition precedent to the mandatory tender for purchase of the 2008 Bonds and failure of any Holder of a 2008 Bond to receive any such notice or any defect in such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the mandatory tender for purchase of the 2008 Bonds pursuant to this Section. (c) If at the time the Trustee sends any notice of mandatory tender for purchase of the 2008 Bonds pursuant to this Section, the Commission has not deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the full Optional Purchase Price of the 2008 Bonds, or the portions thereof, to be purchased, such notice shall state that such mandatory tender for purchase is conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the Optional Purchase Date fixed for such purchase of moneys sufficient to pay the Optional Purchase Price of such 2008 Bonds, or the portions thereof to be purchased, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Commission shall not be required to purchase such 2008 Bonds. In the event that such notice of mandatory tender for purchase contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, no purchase of the 2008 Bonds identified in the notice of mandatory tender for purchase shall be made and the Trustee shall, within a reasonable time thereafter, give notice, to the Remarketing Agent and to the persons and in the manner in which the notice of tender was given, that such moneys were not so received and that there will be no purchase of 2008 Bonds pursuant to the notice of mandatory tender for purchase. (d) If less than all of the Outstanding 2008 Bonds are to be called for mandatory tender for purchase pursuant to this Section, the principal amount and maturity of such 2008 Bonds to be purchased shall be selected by the Commission in its sole discretion. If less than all of 2008 Bonds of like maturity shall be called for mandatory tender for purchase pursuant this Section, except as otherwise provided by the Securities Depository, the particular 2008 Bonds or portions of 2008 Bonds to be purchased shall be selected at random by the Trustee in such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that in selecting portions of 2008 Bonds for purchase, the Trustee shall treat each 2008 Bond as representing that number of 2008 Bonds of the minimum Authorized' Denomination for the 2008 Bonds which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such 2008 Bond by the minimum Authorized Denomination for the 2008 Bonds. Section 16.02. Delivery of Tendered 2008 Bonds. With respect to any 2008 Bond that is registered in book -entry form, delivery of such 2008 Bond to the Trustee in connection with any mandatory tender for purchase pursuant to Section 16.01 shall be effected by the making of, or the irrevocable authorization to make, appropriate entries on the books of the Securities OHS West:260379565.5 36 189 " " D e p o s i t o r y f o r s u c h 2 0 0 8 B o n d o r a n y P a r t i c i p a n t t h e r e o f t o r e f l e c t t h e t r a n s f e r o f t h e b e n e f i c i a l o w n e r s h i p i n t e r e s t i n s u c h 2 0 0 8 B o n d t o t h e a c c o u n t o f t h e T r u s t e e , o n b e h a l f o f t h e C o m m i s s i o n , o r t o t h e a c c o u n t o f a P a r t i c i p a n t a c t i n g o n b e h a l f o f t h e C o m m i s s i o n .

Accordingly, staff has determined that any recovery of indirect costs related to administrative salaries and benefits should be credited as revenue to the general fund rather than the special revenue fund project/program subaccount. In connection with the latest ICAP submitted to Ca!trans for approval, the state auditors have requested that the Commission adopt a formal policy related to the disposition of the indirect cost reimbursement revenues. Accordingly, staff requests the Commission's approval of the fiscal policy related to the disposition of indirect cost reimbursements and adoption of the related resolution.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Measure A requires each recipient of local streets and roads monies to annually provide to the Commission a five-year plan on how those funds are to be expended in order to receive its Measure A disbursements. In addition, the Coachella Valley and Western County cities and the county must be participating in either the Coachella Va►ley Association of Governments or Western Riverside Council of Governments Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee program. The agencies are also required to submit an annual certification of maintenance of effort along with documentation supporting the calculation. The CIP for Palm Springs was approved by the Commission at its July 11, 2007 meeting. Any revisions to the adopted plan must be returned to the Commission for approval. Palm Springs has unexpended Measure A funds remaining from several other prior projects and is requesting to apply $300,000 in excess funds to the Annual Street slurry seal project that was originally budgeted at $500,000.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past several years the Measure A SR-74 widening and realignment projects, between Dexter Avenue in Lake Elsinore and T" Street in Perris, were completed and accepted by Caltrans. The improvements included realignment of curves and widening the existing two-lane roadway to four lanes with eight foot Agenda Item 11 215 shoulders and a continuous 14-foot paved median. Even though construction has been completed and the project has have been accepted by Caltrans there still remains close-out work associated with right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation services. This agenda item addresses three items that are required to support the close-out work. Item Number 1 Additional Engineering Design And Survey Services At the January 13, 1999 meeting, the Commission awarded Agreement No. RO-9954 to SC Engineering to provide final PS&E design services for the SR-74 highway improvement projects. Over the years, there have been several amendments to the SC Engineering agreement to provide additional design services. Even though construction of the SR-74 ,project are completed, there still remain a number of engineering and surveying activities, mainly associated with the acquisition of right-of-way for the project that remains to be completed. Such scope was not included in the referenced SC Engineering agreement or amendments to date. Staff requested and SC Engineering responded, see attached letter dated March 13, 2008, with a scope of work and respective cost proposal to provide additional engineering and survey services to complete the. remaining work associated with the SR-74 project. Staff has reviewed and concurs with the SC Engineering scope and cost as outlined in the attached letter. With this agenda item, staff is recommending that the Commission approve Amendment No. 99-31-302-07 with SC Engineering for additional engineering design and survey services for SR-74 widening project between Dexter Avenue in Lake Elsinore and 7' Street in Perris, for a base amount of $354,636 and a contingency amount of $45,364 for a total amendment not to exceed amount of $400,000. Item Number 2 — Utility Relocation Services At the January 8, 2003 Commission meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 03-31-048 with SCE, for an amount not to exceed $524,000, to relocate SCE facilities that interfered with construction of the SR-74 widening and realignment project from Dexter Avenue in Lake Elsinore to T`' Street in Perris. Over the past several years SCE has completed all its relocation services required, and the SR-74 projects have been completed and accepted by Caltrans; however, Agreement No. 03-31-048 was never fully executed by SCE.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Legislative Update Interstate 15 High Occupancy Toll Lane Project to Have Big Week in Sacramento Commission -sponsored AB 1954 (Jeffries) will receive its first hearing in the Assembly Transportation Committee on Monday April 7. The purpose of the bill is to secure the Commission's 1-15 high occupancy toll (HOT) lane project as one of four available slots in an existing pilot program for HOT lanes. Legislative ratification is one of a two-step process required by Speaker Nunez's program. The other step is to receive an eligibility finding by the California Transportation Commission (CTC), which is expected to take place two days after AB 1954's hearing. The Commission is currently the only applicant under this program. The Commission has collaborated closely with the CTC and with Caltrans in the development of its public partnership application for 1-15. CTC staff has conducted a thorough and exhaustive review of the project for its compliance with state laws and the Speaker's pilot program. By memorializing 1-15 as one of the four HOT lane projects statewide, the Legislature will enable the construction of more than 145 new lane miles of highway capacity at zero expense to the state. In such a severe fiscal environment Agenda Item 12 and with congestion continuing to increase, the Commission's 1-15 project provides an opportunity for the Legislature to provide relief to the traveling public without placing additional burden on the state's budget. State Route 91 legislation to be heard in Senate Transportation and Housing Committee The Commission and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) joint - sponsored SB 1316 (Correa) will be heard in Senator Alan Lowenthal's (D-Long Beach) committee on Tuesday April 8. To review, the bill makes amendments to AB 1010 (passed in 2002), which will allow the Commission to develop its planned extension of the SR-91 Express Lanes while maintaining the public interest protections that were crucial in transferring the original express lane franchise out of private ownership. The bill authorizes the Commission to develop the express lanes extension under public ownership and operation, in compliance with all Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration standards for design, construction, inspection and operation. Non -compete clauses in any agreement regarding the lanes are expressly prohibited in the bill. Toll revenues are required to be used to repay bonds issued by the Commission to finance the project; excess revenues generated by the toll facility will be required to be reinvested in improvements to the SR-91 corridor. In drafting the bill language, both agencies and the author have placed a premium on ensuring accountability and public benefit. Additionally, the bill allows OCTA to use excess toll revenues to construct a direct -connector from the existing SR-91 Express Lanes to the SR-241 toll road. Currently, commuters must chose between the SR-91 Express Lanes and SR-241, causing many commuters heading to and from south Orange County to endure heavy congestion in the mainline of SR-91 . OCTA's proposed project would allow seamless transition between both toll facilities and further reduce congestion on the mainline of SR-91. Also, the bill extends the term of OCTA's franchise to match the 50-year length of the Commission's tolling authority. The purpose of this amendment is to allow both counties' toll roads to connect seamlessly without one half creating a bottleneck when the OCTA term reverts to general purpose lanes in 2030. The extended term also allows OCTA to finance the direct connector between the SR-91 and SR-241 and other major corridor improvements. Commission staff has been working with OCTA and Senator Correa to gather a broad coalition of support for the SR-91 project. SR-91 has one of the worst levels of congestion in California and one lane in each direction provided by Measure A by Agenda Item 12 2039 is simply not enough to address the challenges of that freeway. New capacity under public ownership financed by user fees is the only way to go above and beyond what is currently planned for this vital corridor. Inland Empire Legislator Introduces Bill to Extend Streamlining Program Rialto Assemblymember Wilmer Amina Carter has introduced AB 2650 on behalf of Caltrans to extend the pilot program that allows California (and other states) to streamline the environmental approval process for transportation projects. SAFETEA-LU created an experimental program whereby states could accept responsibility for clearing projects through the NEPA process. By participating in this program, states were required to waive their 11"' Amendment sovereign immunity and accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Legislation is required to waive this right and participate in the program. The initial legislation passed several years ago contained a sunset date for the 11t Amendment waiver of January 1, 2009. However, the program took several years after the passage of SAFETEA-LU to take effect in California; to date it has only been in effect for six months. In order to allow for more time to conduct this streamlining program, AB 2650 extends the sunset date for the 11 `" Amendment waiver to August 10, 2011. Caltrans reports that draft environmental documents have been approved in 72% less time under this program, and final environmental documents have taken 67% less time. In light of the Commission's program of projects to be delivered in the coming years, programs such as NEPA delegation will be important to expediting delivery. Thus, staff recommends the Commission adopt a SUPPORT position on AB 2650 (Carter). Federal Legislative Update The election -year environment in Washington is reaching a fever pitch. A symptom of this fever includes the debate over a one-year moratorium on earmarks, which are special projects identified by members of Congress in bills for specific funding. Earmarks for important transportation projects are often the focus of lobbying efforts by public agencies such as the Commission and its member cities. Although the Senate defeated an attempt to ban earmarks in FY 2009, the President and Congressional Republicans continue to pressure the Democrat leadership to severely cut down on the level of earmarking this year. Fewer earmarks generally mean more discretionary funds available to the Administration for grant programs. RCTC staff will monitor the movement of the federal budget and any opportunities to secure funding for Commission priorities. Agenda Item 12 The Commission Seeks to Keep Perris Valley Line in the President's Budget President Bush's FY 2009 budget includes $50 million for the Commission's Perris Valley Line (PVL) Metrolink Extension project. This line item in the Small Starts category of the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) budget is only a proposal to Congress at this point in the process. Congress is currently in the process of passing its own budget resolution and will move to appropriate funds according to that budget later this year. RCTC Commissioner, and Metrolink Chair, Ron Roberts was in Washington, DC in February advocating to members of Congress to keep the President's request in the final federal budget. The PVL was also a major topic of discussion for Commission Chair Jeff Stone during his visits with Senator Barbara Boxer and Representatives Ken Calvert, Mary Bono Mack, Jerry Lewis, and James Oberstar (D-MN, Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee). Senator Feinstein, a member of the subcommittee, which appropriates funds for transportation projects, has been a major proponent of the PVL. Commission advocate Cliff Madison and Executive Director Anne Mayer have met with Senator Feinstein's appropriations staff to discuss the project. The Commission's message to Congress is that the $50 million recommendation is appropriate and necessary to keep the PVL moving forward on schedule. Now that the project has received a "medium -high" Small Starts rating from FTA, the project's development will begin to accelerate and funds will be expended at increasing levels. The President's recommended funding is based on the Administration's confidence in the Commission's ability to deliver the project. Senator Boxer Invited to Transportation Town Hall Meeting Pursuant to the Commission's action at its annual workshop at the end of February, Chair Stone has officially extended an invitation to Senator Boxer to attend a town hall meeting in Riverside County to discuss the county's transportation priorities and collaborative efforts. Senator Boxer's office was receptive to the idea; Commission staff and DC -based advocates will continue to follow-up to secure a date and location with the Senator. Commissioners visiting Washington in the near future are encouraged to express their continued interest in hosting the Senator in Riverside County to discuss transportation issues.

Senator Boxer's office was receptive to the idea; Commission staff and DC -based advocates will continue to follow-up to secure a' date and location with the Senator. Commissioners visiting Washington in the near future are encouraged to express their continued interest in hosting the Senator in Riverside County to discuss transportation issues. Agenda Item 12 227
