BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In March 2009, the Commission approved ARRA highway funding for five interchange projects. Below is a listing and status of the project obligations: Project SR-60 @ Valley Way Obligation Status Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) obligation complete SR-91 @ Van Buren Boulevard Caltrans District 08 review, pursuing state funding 1-10 @ Bob Hope Drive/Ramon Road FHWA obligation complete 1-10 @ Palm Drive FHWA reviewing obligation 1-215 @ Clinton Keith Road Caltrans HQ reviewing obligation, awaiting FHWA review and obligation The SR-91 /Van Buren Boulevard interchange was approved for $16.101 million in ARRA funding. However, the city of Riverside is currently pursuing state funding currently programmed in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and local funds (1989 Measure A, Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) and city funds) for the construction phase to ensure timely delivery of the SR-91 /Van Buren Boulevard interchange project. Therefore, staff recommends the Commission reprogram $16.101 million to another eligible project. Agenda Item 7 1 Given that the ARRA funds must be obligated by March 2010, projects must be ready to list and have their obligation requests submitted to Ca!trans by December 2009. Staff is recommending that the $16.101 million ARRA funding be moved to the SR-74/I-215 interchange project, which is federalized, scheduled for construction in January 2010, and can meet the December obligation submittal date. A budget adjustment would be required to reflect the new funding source for the FY 2009/10 expenditures including a reduction to the 1989 Measure A funds currently budgeted for the SR-74/I-215 interchange from $7.380 million to $3.7 million. The $3.7 million of 1989 Measure A funds will match proposed State -Local Partnership Program funding, which is referenced in a related agenda item.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: SLPP funding is made available from the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 (Act), commonly referred to as Proposition 1 B. The Act authorized $1 billion for the SLPP over a five-year period and authorizes the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to administer the program. The SLPP consists of two programs. The first program is a formula program for voter -approved taxes and fees. Measure A qualifies as Riverside County's transportation sales tax and the Commission will propose projects for SLPP formula funds. The amount of SLPP formula funding available for programming is $21.965 million. The second program is a competitive grant program. This program is open to agencies that have adopted uniform developer fees. Riverside County's two Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) programs, administered by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and Western Riverside Council of Governments, allow local agencies to apply for funding of up to $1 million per project. For FY 2009/10, $9.8 million is available for the competitive grant program statewide. Staff encouraged local agencies with qualified projects to apply under the competitive grant program and provided the SLPP guidelines to the local agencies at the July 2009 Technical Advisory Committee meeting. Agenda Item 8 3 Project applications for the formula and competitive grant programs must be submitted to the CTC by August 15, 2009. In order to be eligible for programming, projects must: • Be ready for construction in FY 2009/10; • Have a dollar for dollar match (sales tax/fee must match SLPP funding amount for construction phase); and • Be fully funded. SLPP Formula Proposal Given that projects must have a dollar for dollar match for the construction phase, staff is recommending programming $3.7 million of SLPP and the required match of $3.7 million of Measure A funds for the SR-74/I-215 interchange, which has a construction estimate of approximately $40 million. Other funding currently programmed for the interchange includes TUMF ($14 million), federal ($2.4 million), and $16.101 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds proposed in a related agenda item. The state plans to issue bonds in fall 2009 and Ca[trans will include STIP projects that have been deferred due to lack of available funding and SLPP projects. The remaining SLPP formula funding balance can be programmed at any time. Throughout the year the Commission will review highway and regional arterial projects ready for construction that have the required Measure A match for consideration of programming SLPP Formula funds. Commission staff anticipates more projects will be ready for construction in FY 2010/11.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Prior to the commencement of the 2009 Measure A on July 1, 2009, the Commission established a financing program in order to advance project development and land and right-of-way acquisition, as follows: • In March 2005, the Commission established a $185 million commercial paper program. Currently the Commission has $110 million in outstanding commercial paper notes. • As a means to achieve a greater level of interest rate stability in connection with a proposed refinancing of outstanding debt in late 2009, the Commission entered into two forward -starting interest rate swaps in August 2006, for a total notional amount of $185 million. On a weekly basis subject to monthly settlements, the Commission pays the counterparties a fixed rate of 3.679%, and the counterparties pay the Commission a variable rate of 67% of one -month LIBOR. The swaps are effective on October 1, 2009. In September 2008, one of the swaps was terminated due to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, which was a trigger event under the swap agreements. The Commission entered into a replacement swap with another counterparty, Deutsche Bank, at a new fixed rate of 3.206%. • In June 2008, the Commission issued $126.4 million in sales tax revenue bonds (2008 Bonds) to refinance $110.005 million in outstanding commercial paper notes, as it was necessary to restore the commercial paper program to its maximum capacity to continue to pay project cost commitments. The bonds are subject to redemption on December 1, 2009, or will be remarketed at a new interest rate. Agenda Item 9 • 6 " Plan of Finance At the July 8, 2009 meeting, staff presented a plan of finance related to a proposed $185 million bond issuance in 2009 (2009 Bonds). Current plans are to issue variable rate bonds, which will require liquidity support, to refinance the 2008 Bonds and approximately $50 million in commercial paper notes outstanding, fund an increase to the debt service reserve fund, and pay the costs of issuance on the proposed 2009 Bonds. As a variable rate debt issue, the proposed 2009 Bonds would be integrated with the interest rate swaps; however, the financial team also developed alternatives to issue a combination of variable and fixed rate bonds or only fixed rate bonds if one or both of the swaps was terminated. The financial team intends to continue monitoring the swap termination costs and financial market conditions before selecting one of these alternatives. The combination of the commercial paper program maximum debt capacity of $185 million and the proposed 2009 Bonds of $185 million, aggregating $370 million, will not exceed the $500 million debt limitation specified in the 2009 Measure A. The proposed 2009 Bonds are 20-year bonds with a final maturity of June 2029. Interest rates on the bonds will be reset weekly by the remarketing agents, with such rates being determined, in part, based on the market performance of similar, tax-exempt bonds. The underwriters may also serve as remarketing agents and have agreed to an annual remarketing fee of 10 basis points. To support the proposed 2009 Bonds, the Commission solicited bids from banks interested in providing a liquidity facility. The financial team is currently negotiating agreement terms and recommends selecting JPMorgan's offer for a two-year liquidity facility at 125 basis points, subject to agreement on acceptable terms. The security for the bonds and liquidity facility is the 2009 Measure A sales tax receipts. The financing team that has participated in the development of this proposed plan of finance and related documents is comprised of the following key members: " Financial Advisor: Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates; " Bond Counsel: Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP; " Disclosure Counsel: Fulbright & Jaworski LLP; " General Counsel: Best, Best & Krieger LLP; " Underwriters/Remarketing Agents: Barclays, De La Rosa, and Backstrom; " Underwriters Counsel: Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP; " Liquidity Provider: JPMorgan; and " Trustee: U.S. Bank National Association. Arrangements have been made to present this plan of finance to the rating agencies. First Vice Chair Bob Buster, Executive Director Anne Mayer, Chief Financial Officer Theresia Trevino, and certain members of the finance team will participate in these presentations to confirm the strong credit ratings on the Commission's outstanding bonds and to seek ratings on the proposed 2009 Bonds Agenda Item 9 7 in light of the decline in sales tax revenues. A draft of the rating agency presentation is included as an attachment. Meetings are scheduled for August 24-25, 2009 in New York with Moody's Investors Service, Standards & Poor's, and Fitch Ratings. Credit ratings are expected to be received by September 3, 2009. The proposed documents for this transaction will continue to be reviewed and revised for any matters that arise as a result of these rating meetings and other matters. The Official Statement is expected to be completed and printed by September 14, 2009, in order to price the bonds on September 29, 2009. Final documents will be prepared and executed prior to the expected closing date of October 1, 2009. The drafts of the documents for the proposed 2009 Bonds are included attached for the Commission's adoption or approval and consist of the following: • Official Statement (draft); • Resolution No. 09-017 (draft) authorizing the issuance and sale of a not to exceed amount of sales tax revenue bonds in one or more series; the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture, one or more purchase contracts, an Official Statement and continuing disclosure agreement, one or more Remarketing Agreements, and one or more liquidity facilities; and the taking of all other actions necessary in connection with this transaction; • Second Supplemental Indenture between the Commission and the trustee (draft) regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the proposed 2009 Bonds; and • Bond Purchase Agreement (draft) between the Underwriters and the Commission regarding the purchase of the proposed 2009 Bonds; • Remarketing Agreement (draft) between the remarketing agent(s) and the Commission regarding the remarketing of the proposed 2009 Bonds; and • Standby Bond Purchase Agreement (draft) between JPMorgan and the Commission regarding the liquidity support for the proposed 2009 Bonds. One of the actions at today's meeting is for the Commission to approve the form of the Official Statement and authorize its distribution in connection with the sales and pricing of the proposed 2009 Bonds. The Official Statement is required under state and federal securities laws prohibiting the offer and sale of securities such as the proposed 2009 Bonds unless all matters that would be material to an investor in the proposed 2009 Bonds have been adequately disclosed and there has been no omission of material facts that would cause statements made in the Official Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, to be misleading. Furthermore, under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the underwriters cannot purchase the proposed 2009 Bonds unless they have received a "substantially final" offering document, which discloses all material information that they reasonably believe to be true and correct. Agenda Item 9 • 8 The Commissioners serving on the Board as the governing body of the issuer of the proposed 2009 Bonds are expected to read and be familiar with the information described in the attached draft Official Statement. The Commissioners may employ the services of experts to take the lead in the drafting and review of the Official Statement; however, the Commissioners have the duty to review the information and bring to the attention of those responsible for the preparation of the offering document any misstatements or omissions in the draft and to ask questions it is unclear about the information or their role. The financing team will be available at the Commission meeting to respond to the identification of any misstatements or omissions or to such questions. Significant changes to these documents are not anticipated, with the exception of the final agreement terms with a liquidity provider and details of the bond pricing scheduled for September 29, 2009. The financing team is negotiating terms of the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement with JP Morgan as well as a back-up liquidity provider. Since general legal counsel is a key member of the financing team, staff recommends that the executive director be authorized to approve and execute the final documents. Staff recommends adoption of draft Resolution 09-017; approval of the draft Official Statement, Second Supplemental Indenture, Bond Purchase Agreement, Remarketing Agreement, and standby Bopd Purchase Agreement; approval of the estimated costs of issuance and execution of related agreements, as required; and authorization of the Executive Director to approve and execute the final documents. The estimated costs of issuance do not exceed the Commission's debt management policy that limits such costs to 2%.

This Official Statement describes terms of the 2009 Bonds only during a Weekly Rate Period. There are significant differences in the terms of the 2009 Bonds bearing interest using other Interest Rate Determination Methods. This Official Statement is not intended to provide information with respect to the 2009 Bonds bearing interest at a Rate other than a Weekly Rate. Interest on the 2009 Bonds during a Weekly Rate Period will be payable on the fast Business Day of each calendar month, commencing November 2, 2009. "Business Day" means any day other than (1) a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State, the State of New York or the jurisdiction in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed, (2) for purposes of payments and other actions relating to Bonds secured by a Credit Enhancement or supported by a Liquidity Facility, a day upon which commercial banks in the city in which is located the office of the issuing bank at which demands for payment under the Credit Enhancement or Liquidity Facility, as applicable, are to be presented are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed, or (3) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed. DTC, will act as the initial securities depository for the 2009 Bonds, which will be issued initially pursuant to a book - entry only system. See "APPENDIX D — BOOK -ENTRY SYSTEM." Under the Indenture, the Commission may appoint a successor securities depository to DTC for the 2009 Bonds. The Holders of the 2009 Bonds have no right to a book -entry only system for the 2009 Bonds. The information under this caption, "THE 2009 BONDS," is subject in its entirety to the provisions described in "APPENDIX D — BOOK -ENTRY SYSTEM" while the 2009 Bonds are in the book -entry only system. There are a number of provisions in the Indenture relating to the terms of 2009 Bonds purchased by the Liquidity Provider that are not described in this Official Statement. All references to the terms of the 2009 Bonds in this Official Statement describe only 2009 Bonds that are not owned by the Liquidity Provider unless expressly indicated herein. 75783979.5 Q • • 30 " The 2009 Bonds will be subject to optional and mandatory sinking fund redemption and to optional and mandatory tender and purchase as described herein. See "THE 2009 BONDS  Redemption" herein.

Each Weekly Rate shall be the rate of interest that, if home by such 2009 Bonds in the Weekly Rate Period, would, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, having due regard for the prevailing financial market conditions for Tax - Exempt Securities that are of the same general nature as such 2009 Bonds for which the Weekly Rate is to be determined, or Tax -Exempt Securities that are competitive as to credit and maturity (or period for tender) with the credit and maturity (or period for tender) of the 2009 Bonds for which the Weekly Rate is to be determined, be the lowest interest rate that would enable the Remarketing Agent to place such 2009 Bonds at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such 2009 Bonds (plus accrued interest, if any) on the first day of such Weekly Rate Period. See "APPENDIX C  SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE." Conversion of Interest Rate Right of Conversion. The Interest Rate Determination Method for any Series of 2009 Bonds is subject.to Conversion from time to time by the Commission, with such right to be exercised by delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Notice Parties for the 2009 Bonds of such Series as follows: (1) at least two Business Days prior to the fifteenth day preceding the effective date of such proposed Conversion, in the event of a Conversion from the Weekly Rate to a Daily Rate or Commercial Paper Rate; and (2) at least three Business Days prior to the fifteenth day preceding the effective date of such proposed Conversion, in the event of a Conversion to a Long -Term Rate or a Fixed Rate. The date of the proposed Conversion must be a date on which such 2009 Bonds are subject to mandatory tender. The Conversion Notice must be accompanied by (i) an Opinion of Bond Counsel stating that the Conversion is authorized and permitted under the Indenture and will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the Tax -Exempt status of the interest on the 2009 Bonds to be converted, and (ii) a notice of any 2009 Liquidity Facility or any 2009 Credit Enhancement, if at the same time as such 2009 Bonds are being converted an Alternate Liquidity Facility or a new 2009 Credit Enhancement with respect to such 2009 Bonds will be provided. No Conversion to a new Interest Rate Determination Method may take effect under the Indenture unless each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: 75783979.5 5 31 (i) the Trustee shall have received a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to such Conversion; (ii) all 2009 Bonds to be converted are successfully purchased or deemed purchased (from remarketing proceeds or from funds provided by the 2009 Liquidity Provider) and remarketed in the new Interest Rate Determination Method on the Conversion Date; (iii) in the case of a Conversion to a Daily Rate or a Commercial Paper Rate, the 2009 Liquidity Facility for such 2009 Bonds must cover principal plus accrued interest, (computed at the Maximum Interest Rate then in effect on the basis of a 365 day year and actual days elapsed or a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months, as applicable) for the maximum number of days between Interest Payment Dates permitted under that Interest Rate Determination Method, plus such additional number of days, if any, as shall be required by each Rating Agency then rating such 2009 Bonds; provided that if the number of days of interest coverage provided by the applicable 2009 Liquidity Facility is being changed from the number of days previously in place, the Trustee shall have also received a Rating Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies then rating such 2009 Bonds; and (iv) such other conditions as are specified in the Indenture. On the Conversion Date, the Commission may, at its sole option, purchase 2009 Bonds not remarketed to other investors, but it will be under no obligation to do so. Conversion of the Interest Rate Determination Method requires that all 2009 Bonds to be converted must be tendered for purchase on the Conversion Date. See "APPENDIX C - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE." Notice of Conversion to DTC and Beneficial Owners. Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice, as soon as possible, but in any event not less than 15 days prior to the proposed Conversion Date, the Trustee is to give notice of the proposed Conversion to DTC by first-class mail. 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 of 2009 Bonds to be converted will be governed by arrangements among them, and the Commission and the Trustee will not have any responsibility or obligation to send a Conversion Notice to Beneficial Owners of 2009 Bonds. Rescission of Notice of Conversion. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, the Commission may rescind any previously given Conversion Notice by giving written notice thereof to the Notice Parties two or more Business Days prior to the proposed Conversion Date. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission prior to the time the Trustee has given notice of the proposed Conversion to DTC, then the Conversion Notice previously delivered by the Commission shall be of no force and effect. If the Trustee receives notice from the Commission of such rescission after the Trustee has given notice of the proposed Conversion to DTC, then the 2009 Bonds subject to the proposed conversion shall continue to be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the proposed Conversion Date (unless, prior to the proposed Conversion Date, such 2009 Bonds were in a Long -Term Rate Period for which there was no Liquidity Facility) and the Rate Period for such 2009 Bonds shall automatically adjust to, or continue as, a Weekly Rate Period on the proposed Conversion Date. 75783979.5 6 • 32 " " " Failure to Convert. The Indenture includes provisions setting forth the procedures and conditions for the exercise by the Commission of its right of Conversion of the Interest Rate Determination Method for any Series of 2009 Bonds, including the conditions described above under " Right of Conversion." Under certain circumstances, a planned Conversion may not be completed. However, once a notice of Conversion is providedrto DTC as described above, all 2009 Bonds subject to the proposed conversion must be tendered for purchase. The Indenture provides that a failed Conversion of the Interest Rate Determination Method for any Series of 2009 Bonds means that such 2009 Bonds will continue to bear interest at the Interest Rate Determination Method in effect prior to the proposed Conversion Date (as if no proceedings for Conversion had taken place) and the rate of interest thereon shall be determined on the proposed Conversion Date. Redemption Optional Redemption. The 2009 Bonds of a Series will be subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity, at the option of the Commission, in whole or in part, in Authorized Denominations, on any Business Day, at a Redemption Price equal to the amount of 2009 Bonds called for redemption, plus accrued interest, if any, without premium. Mandatory Redemption of the 2009 Bonds from Mandatory Sinking Account Payments. The 2009 Bonds of each Series are subject to mandatory redemption from Mandatory Sinking Account Payments on each date a Mandatory Sinking Account Payment for such 2009 Bonds is due, and in the principal amount equal to the Mandatory Sinking Account Payment due on such date at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date, without premium, as set forth below.

General Redemption Provisions Selection of 2009 Bonds for Redemption. The Commission will designate which Series of 2009 Bonds and which maturities of such Series are to be redeemed; provided, that 2009 Bonds of such Series registered in the name of the 2009 Liquidity Provider must be redeemed prior to redeeming any other 2009 Bonds of such Series. If less than all 2009 Bonds of a Series maturing on any one date are to be redeemed at any one time, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each DTC Direct Participant in the Series to be redeemed. For purposes of such selection, the 2009 Bonds of such Series shall be deemed to be composed of multiples of minimum Authorized Denominations and any such multiple may be separately redeemed. The Commission may designate the Mandatory Sinking Account Payments, or portions thereof, that are to be reduced as a result of such redemption. 75783979.5 8 34 " Notice of Redemption. The Trustee will send each notice of redemption by first class mail not less than 10 nor more than 90 days prior to the redemption date, to DTC, the Remarketing Agents and other parties specified in the Indenture. 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 of 2009 Bonds will be governed by arrangements among them, and the Commission and the Trustee will not have any responsibility or obligation to send a notice of redemption except to DTC. Failure of DTC to receive any notice of redemption or any defect therein will not affect the sufficiency of any proceedings for redemption. Each notice of redemption shall state (i) the date of the notice, (ii) the date of issue of the 2009 Bonds, (iii) the redemption date, (iv) the Redemption Price, (v) the place or places of redemption, including the name and address of the Trustee, (vi) the maturity, (vii) the CUSIP numbers, if any, and (viii) in the case of 2009 Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the respective portions of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Rescission. The Commission may, at its option, prior to the date fixed for redemption in any notice of redemption rescind and cancel such notice of redemption by written notice of the Commission to the Trustee and the Trustee shall mail notice of such cancellation to the recipients of the notice of redemption being cancelled.

Delivery of Tendered 2009 Bonds. With respect to any 2009 Bond that is registered in book -entry form with a Securities Depository, delivery of such 2009 Bond to the Trustee in connection with any optional or mandatory tender for purchase pursuant to the Indenture shall be effected by the making of, or the irrevocable authorization to make, appropriate entries on the books of the Securities Depository for such 2009 Bond or any Participant of such Securities Depository to reflect the transfer of the beneficial ownership interest in such 2009 Bond to the account of the Trustee, or to the account of a Participant of such Securities Depository acting on behalf of the Trustee. With respect to any 2009 Bond that is not registered in book -entry form with a Securities Depository, delivery of such 2009 Bond to the Trustee in connection with any optional or mandatory tender for purchase shall be effected by physical delivery of such 2009 Bond to the Trustee at its Principal Office, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Purchase Date, accompanied by an instrument of transfer thereof, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed in blank by the Holder thereof with the signature of such Holder guaranteed in accordance with the guidelines set forth by one of the nationally recognized medallion signature programs. 2009 Bonds Deemed Purchased. If moneys sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of 2009 Bonds to be purchased pursuant to the Indenture shall be held by the Trustee on the applicable Purchase Date, such 2009 Bonds shall be deemed to have been purchased for all purposes of the Indenture, irrespective of whether or not such 2009 Bonds shall have been delivered to the Trustee or transferred on the books of a Securities Depository for such 2009 Bonds, and neither the former Holder or Beneficial Owner of such 2009 Bonds nor any other person shall have any claim thereon, under the Indenture or otherwise, for any amount other than the Purchase Price thereof. In the event of non -delivery of any 2009 Bond to be purchased pursuant to the Indenture, the Trustee shall segregate and hold uninvested the moneys for the Purchase Price of such 2009 Bond in trust, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the former Holders or Beneficial Owners of such 2009 Bond, who shall, except as provided in the following sentence, thereafter be restricted exclusively to such moneys for the satisfaction of any claim for the Purchase Price of such 2009 Bond. Any moneys that the Trustee shall segregate and hold in trust for the payment of the Purchase Price of any 2009 Bond and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after the date of purchase shall, subject to satisfaction of all amounts then due and payable to the Liquidity Provider (other than 2009 Liquidity Provider Bonds), be paid automatically to the Commission. After the payment of such unclaimed moneys to the Commission, the former Holder or Beneficial Owner of such 2009 Bond shall look only to the Commission for the payment thereof. 75783979.5 37 Tenders of 2009 Bonds and Deliveries of Converted 2009 Bonds Are Subject to DTC Procedures. As long as the book -entry only system is in effect with respect to the 2009 Bonds, all tenders for purchase and deliveries upon Conversion of 2009 Bonds tendered for purchase or subject to mandatory tender under the provisions of the Indenture shall be made pursuant to DTC's procedures as in effect from time to time, and neither the Commission, the Trustee, nor any Remarketing Agent shall have any responsibility for or liability with respect to the implementation of these procedures. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE 2009 BONDS SUBJECT TO OPTIONAL TENDER AND REMARKETING The Remarketing Agents are Paid by the Commission The Remarketing Agents' responsibilities include determining the interest rate from time to time and remarketing 2009 Bonds that are optionally or mandatorily tendered by the Owners thereof (subject, in each case, to the terms of the applicable Remarketing Agreement), as further described in this Official Statement. The Remarketing Agents are appointed by the Commission and are paid by the Commission for their services. As a result, the interests of the Remarketing Agents may differ from those of existing holders and potential purchasers of such 2009 Bonds. The Remarketing Agents Routinely Purchase 2009 Bonds for their Own Account The Remarketing Agents act as remarketing agent for a variety of variable rate demand obligations and, in their sole discretion, routinely purchase such obligations for their own account. The Remarketing Agents are permitted, but not obligated, to purchase tendered 2009 Bonds for their own account and, in their sole discretion, routinely acquire such tendered 2009 Bonds to achieve a successful remarketing of the 2009 Bonds (i.e., because there otherwise are not enough buyers to purchase the 2009 Bonds) or for other reasons. However, the Remarketing Agents are not obligated to purchase 2009 Bonds, and may cease doing so at any time without notice. The Remarketing Agents may also make a market in the 2009 Bonds by routinely purchasing and selling 2009 Bonds other than in connection with an optional or mandatory tender and remarketing. Such purchases and sales may be at or below par. However, the Remarketing Agents are not required to make a market in the 2009 Bonds. The Remarketing Agents may also sell any 2009 Bonds they have purchased to one or more affiliated investment vehicles for collective ownership or enter into derivative arrangements with affiliates or others in order to reduce its exposure to the 2009 Bonds. The purchase of 2009 Bonds by the Remarketing Agents may create the appearance that there is greater third party demand for the 2009 Bonds in the market than is actually the case. The practices described above also may result in fewer 2009 Bonds being tendered in a remarketing. 2009 Bonds May Be Offered at Different Prices on Any Date Including a Rate Determination Date Pursuant to the Remarketing Agreements, each Remarketing Agent is required to determine the applicable rate of interest that, in its judgment, is the lowest rate that would permit the sale of the applicable 2009 Bonds bearing interest at the applicable interest rate at par plus accrued interest, if any, on and as of the applicable date. The interest rate will reflect, among 75783979.5 12 • 38 " " other factors, the level of market demand for the applicable 2009 Bonds (including whether such Remarketing Agent is willing to purchase such 2009 Bonds for its own account). There may or may not be 2009 Bonds tendered and remarketed on any given date, such Remarketing Agent may or may not be able to remarket any 2009 Bonds tendered for purchase on such date at par and such Remarketing Agent may sell 2009 Bonds at varying prices to different investors on such date or any other date. The Remarketing Agents are not obligated to advise purchasers in a remarketing if they do not have third party buyers for all of the applicable 2009 Bonds at the remarketing price. If a Remarketing Agent owns any 2009 Bonds for its own account, it may, in its sole discretion in a secondary market transaction outside the tender process, offer such 2009 Bonds on any date at a discount to par to some investors. The Ability to Sell the 2009 Bonds Other Than through Tender Process May Be Limited The Remarketing Agents may buy and sell 2009 Bonds other than through the tender process. However, they are not obligated to do so and may cease doing so at any time without notice and may require holders that wish to tender their 2009 Bonds to do so through the tender agent with appropriate notice. Thus, investors who purchase the 2009 Bonds, whether in a remarketing or otherwise, should not assume that they will be able to sell their 2009 Bonds other than by tendering the 2009 Bonds in accordance with the tender process. No Remarketing Agent Successor in Certain Circumstances Under certain circumstances a Remarketing Agent may be removed or have the ability to resign or cease its remarketing efforts, without a successor having been named, subject to the terms of the applicable Remarketing Agreement and the Indenture. PLAN OF REFUNDING The proceeds of the 2009 Bonds will be applied to (i) refund all of the Refunded Bonds, (ii) retire a portion of the Notes, in the principal amount of $50,000,000, (iii) fund a [portion of a] reserve for the 2009 Bonds, and (iv) pay costs of issuance of the 2009 Bonds. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the refunding of the Refunded Bonds will be effected by depositing a portion of the proceeds of the 2009 Bonds in the Redemption Fund created and established under the Indenture for the Refunded Bonds. Such proceeds and other monies deposited by the Commission in the Redemption Fund will be used to purchase Defeasance Securities, the principal of and interest on which when due will provide monies that will be sufficient to redeem the Refunded Bonds on December 1, 2009 (the "Redemption Date"). See "VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATIONS" herein. 75783979.5 13 39 ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF PROCEEDS The proceeds from the sale of the 2009 Bonds are expected to be applied as follows: Sources of Funds: Principal Amount of 2009 Bonds Funds Relating to the Refunded Bonds Total Sources: $ Uses of Funds: Redemption Fund Transfer to Notes Trustee Costs of Issuance(I) 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund Total Uses: $ (1) Includes Underwriters' discount, Rating Agency fees, Trustee fees, printing costs, Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel, Financial Advisor, Auditor and Verification Agent fees and expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the pledge of Revenues constitutes a first lien to secure the Bonds and Parity Obligations. The pledge of Revenues shall be irrevocable until all Bonds issued under the Indenture, including the 2009 Bonds, and all Panty Obligations are no longer Outstanding. The Revenues pledged to the payment of the Bonds and Panty Obligations shall be applied without priority or distinction of one over the other and the Sales Tax Revenues shall constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of the Bonds and Parity Obligations; but nevertheless out of Revenues certain. amounts may be applied for other purposes as provided in the Indenture. For a detailed description of the Sales Tax and projected receipts of Sales Tax Revenues, see "THE SALES TAX" herein. Revenue Fund; Allocation of Revenues As long as any Bonds are Outstanding or any Parity Obligations remain unpaid, the Commission has assigned the Sales Tax Revenues to the Trustee and shall cause the Board of Equalization to transmit the same directly to 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 any Parity Obligations. The Trustee shall forthwith deposit all Sales Tax Revenues in the Revenue Fund, maintained and held in trust by the Trustee, when and as such Sales Tax Revenues are received by the Trustee.

Investment income on amounts held by the Trustee (other than amounts held in the Rebate Fund or for which particular instructions are provided) shall also be deposited in the Revenue Fund. In each month while Bonds remain Outstanding, the Trustee is required to set aside receipts of Sales Tax Revenues in the following respective funds, amounts and order of priority (provided that deficiencies in any previously required deposit shall be made up prior to the deposit to a fund subsequent in priority and further provided that set asides or transfers required with respect to Parity Obligations shall be made on a parity basis, as provided in the Indenture): 1. Interest Fund. The Indenture requires the Trustee to make monthly deposits in the Interest Fund in an amount equal to (a) one -sixth of the aggregate half -yearly amount of interest becoming due and payable on Outstanding Current Interest Bonds (other than Bonds constituting Variable Rate Indebtedness) during the ensuing six-month period, plus (b) the aggregate amount of interest to accrue during that month, calculated as provided in the Indenture, on the Outstanding Variable Rate Indebtedness; provided that all Swap Revenues received with respect to Interest Rate Swap Agreements that are Parity Obligations shall be deposited in the Interest Fund and credited to the above -required deposits, and that payments on such Interest Rate Swap Agreements (other than fees and expenses and termination payments) shall be payable from the Interest Fund and the above -required deposits shall be adjusted to include such payments. 75783979.5 15 41 2.

The Indenture also requires the Trustee to make monthly deposits in the Principal Fund in an amount equal to at least (a) one -sixth of the aggregate semiannual amount of principal, accreted value, if applicable, becoming due and payable within the next six months on Outstanding Bonds having semiannual maturity dates, plus (b) one -twelfth of the aggregate yearly amount of principal, accreted value, if applicable, becoming due and payable within the next twelve months on Outstanding Bonds having annual maturity dates, plus (c) one -sixth of the aggregate of the Mandatory Sinking Account Payments to be paid during the next six-month period into the respective Sinking Accounts for the Term Bonds of all Series for which Sinking Accounts have been created and for which semiannual mandatory redemption is required from said Sinking Accounts, plus (d) one -twelfth of the aggregate of the Mandatory Sinking Account Payments to be paid during the next 12-month period into the respective Sinking Accounts for the Term Bonds of all Series for which Sinking Accounts have been created and for which annual mandatory redemption is required from such Sinking Accounts. 3. Bond Reserve Fund. The Indenture also requires the Trustee to make deposits to the Bond Reserve Fund (including the 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund) as set forth below. See "— 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund" below. 4. Subordinate Obligations Fund. As long as any Subordinate Obligations remain unpaid, any Revenues remaining in the Revenue Fund after the transfers described in (1), (2) and (3) above have been made shall be transferred to the Subordinate Trustee. After the Subordinate Trustee has made the required deposit of Revenues under the Subordinate Indenture, the Subordinate Trustee shall transfer any remaining Revenues back to the Trustee. 5. Fees and Expenses Fund. At the direction of the Commission, after the transfers described in (1), (2), (3) and (4) above have been made, the Trustee is required to deposit as soon as practicable in each month in the Fees and Expenses Fund (i) amounts necessary for payment of fees, expenses and similar charges (including fees, expenses and similar charges relating to any Liquidity Facility or Credit Enhancement for the Bonds or any Parity Obligations) owing in such month or the following month by the Commission in connection with the Bonds or any Parity Obligations and (ii) amounts necessary for payment of fees, expenses and similar charges owing in such month or the following month by the Commission in connection with Subordinate Obligations. The Commission shall inform the Trustee of such amounts, in writing, on or prior to the first Business Day of each month. Any Revenues remaining in the Revenue Fund after the foregoing transfers described in (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above, except as the Commission shall otherwise direct in writing or as is otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture, shall be transferred to the Commission on the same Business Day or as soon as practicable thereafter. The Commission may use and apply the Revenues when received by it for any lawful purpose of the Commission, including the redemption of Bonds upon the terms and conditions set forth in the supplemental indenture relating to such Bonds and the purchase of Bonds as and when and at such prices as it may determine. 75783979.5 16 • e • 42 " " See "APPENDIX C  SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE  Allocation of Revenues" and " Definitions" for a more complete discussion. 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund The Second Supplemental Indenture establishes the 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund to be maintained in an amount equal to the 2009 Bonds Reserve Requirement, for the purpose of paying principal of and interest on the 2009 Bonds when due if insufficient moneys for such payment are on deposit in the Principal Account and the Interest Account, and for such other purposes as are specified in the Indenture. The initial 2009 Bonds Reserve Requirement upon issuance of the 2009 Bonds is $ , which amount will be funded from the proceeds of the sale of the 2009 Bonds. "2009 Bonds Reserve Requirement' is defined under the Second Supplemental Indenture as follows: as of any date of calculation, the least of (i) 10% of the aggregate original principal amount of 2009 Bonds (or, if the amount of any original issue discount or premium exceeds 2%, 10% of the issue price of the 2009 Bonds), (ii) 125% of average Annual Debt Service for the 2009 Bonds or (iii) 100% of Maximum Annual Debt Service for the 2009 Bonds; provided that with respect to a Series of variable rate 2009 Bonds for which an interest swap is not in place, the interest rate thereon, for periods where the rate has not yet been determined, for purposes of calculating the 2009 Bonds Reserve Requirement shall be assumed to be equal to the rate published in The Bond Buyer as the "Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index" by the most recent date preceding the sale of such Series. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, upon the occurrence of any deficiency in the 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund, the Trustee shall deposit in the 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund, as soon as possible in each month, until the balance therein is at least equal to the 2009 Bonds Reserve Requirement, one - twelfth of the aggregate amount of each unreplenished prior withdrawal from the 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund or decrease resulting from any required valuation of the investments in the 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund. In lieu of a cash deposit, the Commission may fulfill all or a portion of its obligation to fund the 2009 Bonds Reserve Fund by depositing a letter of credit, surety bond or insurance policy meeting the requirements of a Reserve Facility, as provided in the Indenture. See "APPENDIX C  SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE  Funding and Application of Bond Reserve Fund" and " Definitions" for a more complete discussion. Additional Bonds and Parity Obligations Under the Indenture, the Commission may issue other obligations payable in whole or in part from Sales Tax Revenues, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Indenture. Issuance of Additional Series of Bonds. The Commission may by Supplemental Indenture establish one or more additional Series of Bonds payable from Sales Tax Revenues and secured by the pledge made under the Indenture equally and ratably with the 2009 Bonds, but only upon compliance by the Commission with the provisions of the Indenture. Certain of the applicable provisions of the Indenture arc described below: 75783979.5 (1) No Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing. 17 43 (2) If so required in the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of such Series, either (i) a Bond Reserve Fund shall be established to provide additional security for such Series of Bonds or (ii) the balance in an existing Bond Reserve Fund, forthwith upon the receipt of the proceeds of the sale of Bonds of such Series shall 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 may be made in the form of a Reserve Facility. (3) 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 financial 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 Panty 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 Obligations Outstanding following the issuance of such Refunding Bonds is less than or equal to Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Bonds and Parity Obligations Outstanding prior to the issuance of such Refunding Bonds, or (ii) that the Commission expects a reduction in Debt Service on all Bonds Outstanding and all Parity Obligations outstanding to result from the refunding to be effected with the proceeds of such Refunding Bonds. Issuance of Parity Obligations. The Commission may also issue Parity Obligations 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 Obligations set forth in the Indenture are satisfied, including satisfaction of the coverage test described in subsection (c) above under the caption "Issuance of Additional Series of Bonds" (unless such Parity Obligations are being issued for refunding purposes, in which case the coverage test shall not apply). As defined in the Indenture, "Parity Obligations" means any indebtedness, installment sale obligation, lease obligation or other obligation of the Commission for borrowed money, the Existing Swaps or any other Interest Rate Swap Agreement (excluding fees and expenses and termination payments on Interest Rate Swap Agreements) entered into in connection with a Series of Bonds, in each case incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and having an equal lien and charge upon the Sales Tax Revenues and therefore being payable on a parity with the Bonds (whether or not any Bonds are Outstanding). 75783979.5 18 • • 44 " The Commission's obligation to make regularly scheduled payments under the Existing Swap Agreements (as defined below) constitutes a Parity Obligation under the Indenture. Existing Swap Agreements The Commission has entered into the following interest rate swap agreements (collectively, the "Existing Swap Agreements"), in a combined notional amount of $185,000,000 (subject to amortization), which Existing Swap Agreements have an effective date of October 1, 2009 and expire on June 1, 2029. a. An ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2006, between Bank of America, N.A. ("BOA") and the Commission, as supplemented by the Schedule, dated as of August 22, 2006 and the confirmation of a transaction entered into on August 22, 2006 between BOA and the Commission (the "BOA Swap Agreement"). BOA's current long-term unsubordinated ratings are " " by Standard & Poor's Rating Service ("S&P"), " " by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and "_" by Fitch Ratings ("Fitch"). b. An ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2008, between Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch ("DBAG") and the Commission, as supplemented by the Schedule, dated as of September 24, 2008 and the confirmation of a transaction entered into on September 24, 2008 between DBAG and . the Commission (the "DBAG Swap Agreement"). DBAG's current long-term unsubordinated ratings are " " by S&P, "_" by Moody's and " " by Fitch. The Commission's obligation to make regularly scheduled payments to the swap counterparties under the Existing Swap Agreements is secured by Sales Tax Revenues on a parity basis with the Commission's obligation to pay principal of and interest on the 2009 Bonds, and therefore such obligation constitutes a Parity Obligation under the Indenture. The Commission's obligation to make any early termination payment under the Existing Swap Agreements is secured by a pledge of Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge of Sales Tax Revenues in favor of the 2009 Bonds, Parity Obligations and payment of principal of and interest on Subordinate Obligations. The BOA Swap Agreement is in the initial notional amount of $100,000,000, subject to amortization as set forth therein. Pursuant to this agreement, BOA has agreed to pay the Commission a floating rate equal to 67% of USDLIBOR (One Month) and the Commission has agreed to pay BOA a fixed rate equal to 3.679%. The BOA Swap Agreement is subject to early termination in the event that the unenhanced ratings on the 2009 Bonds issued by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's Rating Service ("S&P") fall below investment grade or are withdrawn or suspended; a reduction in the long-term unsubordinated ratings of BOA below investment grade can also result in an early termination of the BOA Swap Agreement. The Commission has the option of terminating the BOA Swap Agreement upon two Business Days' notice provided it has sufficient funds to pay any early termination amount. 75783979.5 19 45 The DBAG Swap Agreement is in the initial notional amount of $85,000,000, subject to amortization as set forth therein. Pursuant to this agreement, DBAG has agreed to pay the Commission a floating rate equal to 67% of USDLIBOR (One Month) and the Commission has agreed to pay DBAG a fixed rate equal to 3.206%. The DBAG Swap Agreement is subject to early termination in the event that the unenhanced ratings on the 2009 Bonds issued by Moody's and S&P fall below investment grade or are withdrawn or suspended; a reduction in the unenhanced ratings of the long-term unsecured unsubordinated debt of DBAG below investment grade can also result in an early termination of the DBAG Swap Agreement. The Commission has the option of terminating the DBAG Swap Agreement upon two Business Days' notice provided it has sufficient funds to pay any early termination amount. In the event of an early termination of one or both of the Existing Swap Agreements, a termination payment will be payable by either the Commission or the swap counterparty depending on the then current market value of the Existing Swap Agreement subject to termination. Any such termination payment payable by the Commission could be substantial. As of September 1, 2009, the value of the termination payment, if each of the Existing Swap Agreements were terminated based on the mid -market swap curve, assuming functioning markets, and assuming that no party was in default under the Existing Swap Agreements, was estimated by the Commission's financial advisor to be approximately $ million payable by the Commission. Any early termination payments are payable from Sales Tax Revenues on a basis subordinate to the Bonds (including the 2009 Bonds). Subordinate Obligations The Commission may issue obligations ("Subordinate Obligations") payable out of Sales Tax Revenues on a basis subordinate to the payment of the principal, premium, interest and reserve fund requirements for the Bonds and all Parity Obligations, as the same become due and payable. The Notes and the credit agreements supporting the Notes constitute Subordinate Obligations under the Indenture. The Commission's obligation to make early termination payments under the Existing Swap Agreements is secured by a pledge of the Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge in favor of the 2009 Bonds, Parity Obligations and payment of principal of and interest on Subordinate Obligations. As of September 1, 2009, there was $110,000,000 principal amount of Notes outstanding. The principal of and interest on the Notes are payable from draws under an irrevocable, direct pay letter of credit issued by Bank of America, N.A., pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2005 ("Reimbursement Agreement"), by and between the Commission and BOA. The stated amount of the letter of credit may not exceed $190,000,000. The letter of credit expires March 29, 2010, unless terminated earlier as provided in the Reimbursement Agreement. The Commission's obligation to reimburse BOA for draws under the letter of credit to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes is secured by a pledge of Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge in favor of the holders of the 2009 Bonds and on parity with the obligation to pay Note holders. A portion of the proceeds of the 2009 Bonds will be used to retire $50,000,000 principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

THE SALES TAX General The Act, among other things, authorizes the Commission to develop a countywide consensus on a proposed transaction expenditure plan to be submitted to the voters as part of an ordinance imposing a retail transactions and use tax in the County in accordance with the provisions of the California Transactions and Use Tax Law (Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7251, et seq.). In accordance with the Act, on November 5, 2002, more than two-thirds of the voters of the County voting on the measure approved Measure "A," which authorized the imposition of the Sales Tax in the County commencing on July 1, 2009. The Sales Tax will be collected for a thirty-year period. The Sales Tax consists of a one-half of one percent (1/21)/0) sales tax on the gross receipts of retailers from the sale of tangible personal property sold in the 75783979.5 21 47 County and a use tax at the same rate upon the storage, use or other consumption in the County of such property purchased from any retailer for storage, use or other consumption in the County, subject to certain limited exceptions described below. The one-half of one percent sales tax imposed in the County for transportation purposes and administered by the Commission, is in addition to an eight and one -quarter percent sales tax levied statewide by the State of California (the "State"). In general, the statewide sales tax applies to the gross receipts of retailers from the sale of tangible personal property. The statewide use tax is imposed on the storage, use or other consumption in the state of property purchased from a retailer for such storage, use or other consumption. Since the use tax does not apply to cases where the sale of the property is subject to the sales tax, the application of the use tax generally is to purchases made outside of the State for use within the State. The Sales Tax is generally imposed upon the same transactions and items subject to the sales and use tax levied statewide by the State (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "State Sales Tax"), with generally the same exceptions. Many categories of transactions are exempt from the State Sales Tax and the Sales Tax. 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 delivered 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. Such changes or amendments could have either an adverse or beneficial effect on 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 "RISK FACTORS — Proposition 218" herein. 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 75783979.5 22 • 48 " Tax Revenues, if any, are transferred to the Commission for use for any purpose contemplated by the Ordinance. The fee that the BOE is authorized to charge for collection of the Sales Tax is determined by State legislation. The BOE fee for collection of the Sales Tax for fiscal year 2009-2010 is $1,439,800. 1988 Sales Tax Revenues The 1988 Sales Tax (as defined below) represents an additional source of revenue to the Commission, is a separate tax from the Sales Tax and does not secure the 2009 Bonds. On November 8, 1988, more than two-thirds of the voters approved the Riverside County Transportation Commission Transportation Expenditure Plan and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance (the "Prior Ordinance") which authorized the imposition of a retail transactions and use tax of one-half of one percent ('/2%) of the gross receipts of retailers from the sales of all tangible personal property sold at retail in the county and a use tax at the same rate upon the storage, use or other consumption in the County of Riverside ("County") of such property purchased from any retailer for storage, use or other consumption in the county, subject to certain limited exceptions (the "1988 Sales Tax"). The 1988 Sales Tax ceased to be effective on June 30, 2009, with major collections of the 1988 Sales Tax expected to be received by the Commission no later than September 30, 2009. The Commission has previously issued indebtedness secured by the 1988 Sales Tax, and all outstanding principal and interest with respect to such indebtedness has been fully paid on or before June 1, 2009. The Sales Tax does not serve as security for the repayment of the obligations secured by the 1988 Sales Tax. Conversely, the 1998 Sales Tax does not serve as security for the Bonds, including the 2009 Bonds. For comparative purposes, however, both the Sales Tax and 1998 Sales Tax are levied at the same rate and on the same types of transactions within the County. The following table sets forth the 1988 Sales Tax remitted to the Commission during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 through June 30, 2009. 75783979.5 23 49 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION HISTORICAL 1988 SALES TAX REVENUE RECEIPTS Fiscal Year Net Sales % Change Ended June 30 Tax Receipts(I) From Prior Fiscal Year 2000 S 81,543,732 15.83% 2001 89,464,634 9.71 2002 94,400,890 5.52 2003 102,817,407 8.92 2004 117,632,722 14.41 2005 134,516,986 14.35 2006 155,206,029 15.38 2007 157,092,807 1.22 2008 146,083,683 (7.01) 2009 124,691,932 (14.64) m Net of State Board of Equalization administrative fee.

Annual 1988 Sales Tax Revenues received for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2009 are $124,691,932, representing a 14.64% decline from those received in the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2008. Quarterly declines for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2009 were: (11.81%) first quarter, (8.70%) second quarter, (17.56%) third quarter and (20.89%) fourth quarter. The decline in 1988 Sales Tax receipts for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2009 is deeper than the decline of Sales Tax receipts Statewide for this period.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION General The Commission is charged with a number of important responsibilities in serving the residents of the County. Administering the 1988 sales tax program, which has raised more than $1 billion, is by far the most prominent of these responsibilities. The Commission, which has the 75783979.5 24 50 " " responsibility of placing future transportation ballot measures before the public, was successful in November 2002 in obtaining more than two-thirds 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 the County. The results of these programs  680 call boxes along the County roadways and 20 FSP tow trucks providing assistance to more than 52,000 motorists annually  are among the most visible of the Commission's programs. In 1998, 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. The Commission has the responsibility to program funds received under the California Transportation Development Act, a statewide source of funding for transit purposes, primarily to the County's major public transit providers, although the Commission has no responsibility to provide transit services. 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 Board expanded in 2008 with the addition of two members representing newly incorporated cities. The expanded Commission ensures better representation throughout the County and provides the participatory framework for continued success in carrying out 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 Council) and one non -voting member appointed by the governor of the State of California. The role of the Commission is to act as the policy -making board for Riverside County transportation activities. 75783979.5 25 ' 51 Executive Staff The Commission's key staff members, the position held by each and a brief statement of the background of each staff member are set forth below.

THE TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN On November 5, 2002, 69.2% of the voters of the County approved Measure "A" — The Riverside County Transportation Commission Transportation Expenditure Plan (the "Plan") and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance which expressed the following concems in its preamble: "The transportation system in Riverside County is rapidly deteriorating and our population and economy are growing rapidly. Maintenance and repairs of existing roadways and improvements to relieve congestion cannot be accomplished with available funds. 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 75783979.5 26 • • 52 " " " 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: Maintain and improve the quality of life in Riverside County by supplementing existing funds for transportation; provide for accountability in the expenditure of taxpayer funds; provide for equity in the distribution of Measure "A" Revenues; and 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., Westem 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, $1.020 million for highway projects, $300 million for regional arterial projects, $390 million for public transit, $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. RISK FACTORS 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. The economy of the County is currently experiencing a slowdown as evidenced by an increased unemployment rate, a slowdown in total personal income and taxable "sales, a drop in residential building permits, a decline in the rate of home sales and the median price of single-family homes and condominiums and an increase in notices of default on mortgage loans secured by homes and condominiums. 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 meet its debt service obligations. For information relating to current economic conditions within the County and the State see "APPENDIX B  COUNTY DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC INFORMATION." 75783979.5 27 53 Limitations of the Liquidity Facility The ability to obtain funds under the Liquidity Facility in accordance with its terms may be limited by federal or State law. Bankruptcy, conservatorship, receivership and similar laws goveming fmancial institutions or any issuer of a Liquidity Facility may prevent or restrict payment under the Liquidity Facility. To the extent the short-term rating on any Series of the 2009 Bonds depends in any manner on the rating of the Liquidity Provider, the short-term ratings on such Series of 2009 Bonds could be downgraded or withdrawn if such Liquidity Provider were to be downgraded, placed on credit watch or have its ratings suspended or withdrawn or were to refuse to perform under the Liquidity Facility. The obligation of the Liquidity Providers under the Liquidity Facility to purchase unremarketed 2009 Bonds of a Series is subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, and is also subject to all rights and defenses available to contracting parties generally. The Liquidity Facility is not a guaranty to pay the purchase price of any Series of 2009 Bonds tendered for purchase. The Liquidity Facility is a general contract, subject to certain conditions and limitations, and is not a letter of credit. Purchasers of any 2009 Bonds should consult their legal counsel for an explanation of the differences between a general contract and a letter of credit or guaranty. The following is included as a summary of selected differences and does not purport to be complete or definitive. In general, a letter of credit is an independent, special contract by a bank to pay a third party such as a bond trustee holding the letter of credit for the benefit of owners of such bonds. Banks are required by law to honor their letters of credit except in specified circumstances. If a dispute were to develop between a bank and its borrower, except in limited circumstances, the dispute should not jeopardize payment under the letter of credit because (a) the letter of credit would be independent of the disputed contract between the borrower and the bank and (b) the beneficiary of the letter of credit (typically, the bond trustee) would have direct rights under the letter of credit. Further, and although there are defenses to payment of letters of credit, such defenses are limited by law to specified circumstances. In contrast, a standby bond purchase agreement, such as the Liquidity Facility, is merely a general contract. No law expressly requires performance of the contract, although the non - breaching party would be entitled to allowable damages if there were a breach of contract. Although the Trustee is authorized to draw funds in accordance with the Liquidity Facility, the Liquidity Provider has no independent obligation to the Trustee. If a dispute were to develop, the Liquidity Provider will have all defenses allowed at law or in equity to their payment under or other performance of the Liquidity Facility, including but not limited to disputes (whether valid or not) regarding the authority of any party to enter into or perform under the Liquidity Facility. In general, the provider of a standby bond purchase agreement has more defenses against performance than the provider of a letter of credit. A Liquidity Provider or the Commission may seek to have any future dispute resolved in court and appealed to final judgment before it performs under the Liquidity Facility. Further, even if the Commission were to prevail against the Liquidity Provider, a court would not necessarily order the Liquidity Provider to perform under the Liquidity Facility; it could instead 75783979.5 28 54 " " award damages for breach of contract to the Commission. Any such award would not necessarily be in an amount sufficient to pay the purchase price of the applicable Series of 2009 Bonds. The Sales Tax With limited exceptions, the Sales Tax will be imposed upon the same transactions and items subject to the sales tax levied statewide by the State. The State Legislature or the voters within the State, through the initiative process, could change or limit the transactions and items upon which the statewide sales tax and the Sales Tax are imposed. Any such change or limitation could have an adverse impact on the Sales Tax Revenues collected. For a further description of the Sales Tax, see "THE SALES TAX." Proposition 218 On November 5, 1996, voters in the State approved an initiative known as the Right to Vote on Taxes Act ("Proposition 218"). Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. Article XIIIC requires majority voter approval for the imposition, extension or increase of general taxes and two-thirds voter approval for the imposition, extension or increase of special taxes by a local government, which is defined to include local or regional governmental agencies such as the Commission. The Sales Tax was approved by more than two-thirds of the voters in Riverside County and is therefore in compliance with the requirements of Proposition 218. Article XIIIC also removes limitations that may have applied to the voter initiative power with regard to reducing or repealing previously authorized local taxes, even previously voter -approved taxes like the Sales Tax. In the view of the Commission, however, any attempt by the voters to use the initiative provisions of Proposition 218 to rescind or reduce the levy and collection of the Sales Tax in a manner which would prevent the payment of debt service on the 2009 Bonds, would violate the Contracts Clause of the United States Constitution and, accordingly, would be precluded. The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts. Further Initiatives Proposition 218 was adopted as a measure that qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted, which may affect the Commission's ability to levy and collect the Sales Tax, or change the types of transactions or items subject to a Sales Tax. Loss of Tax Exemption As discussed under "TAX MATTERS," interest on the 2009 Bonds could become includable in federal gross income, possibly from the date of issuance of the 2009 Bonds, as a result of acts or omissions of the Commission subsequent to the issuance of the 2009 Bonds. Should interest become includable in federal gross income, the 2009 Bonds are not subject to redemption by reason thereof and may remain outstanding until maturity. 75783979.5 29 55 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Commission for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2008, 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 has agreed to the inclusion of its report in APPENDIX A. McGladrey & Pullen, LLP has not 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, 2008. VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATIONS , certified public accountants (the "Verification Agent"), will deliver a report stating that the Verification Agent has verified the accuracy of mathematical computations concerning the adequacy of the maturing principal amounts of and interest earned on the Defeasance Securities initially deposited in the Redemption Fund to provide for the payment of the interest due on each of the Refunded Bonds to and including the Redemption Date, and to pay on the Redemption Date the redemption price thereof. The report of the Verification Agent will include the statement that the scope of their engagement was limited to verifying the mathematical accuracy of the computations contained in such schedules provided to them and that they have no obligations to update their report because of event occurring, or data or information coming to their attention, subsequent to the date of their report. LITIGATION There is not now pending any litigation restraining or enjoining the issuance or delivery of the 2009 Bonds or questioning or affecting the validity of the 2009 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 MATTERS In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the Commission ("Bond Counsel'), based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the 2009 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the 2009 Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes, nor is it included in adjusted current earnings when calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. A complete copy of the proposed form of the opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in APPENDIX E. 75783979.5 30 • • 56 To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the 2009 Bonds is less than the amount to be paid at maturity of such 2009 Bonds (excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over the term of such 2009 Bonds), the difference constitutes "original issue discount," the accrual of which, to the extent properly allocable to each beneficial owner thereof, is treated as interest on the 2009 Bonds which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and State of Califomia personal income taxes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the 2009 Bonds is the first price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the 2009 Bonds is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The original issue discount with respect to any maturity of the 2009 Bonds accrues daily over the term to maturity of such 2009 Bonds on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The accruing original issue discount is added to the adjusted basis of such 2009 Bonds to determine taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such 2009 Bonds. Beneficial owners of the 2009 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of 2009 Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of beneficial owners who do not purchase such 2009 Bonds in the original offering to the public at the first price at which a substantial amount of such 2009 Bonds is sold to the public. 2009 Bonds purchased, whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount higher than their principal amount payable at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) ("Premium 2009 Bonds") will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond premium in the case of bonds, like the Premium 2009 Bonds, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, the amount of tax-exempt interest received, and a beneficial owner's basis in a Premium 2009 Bond, will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium properly allocable to such beneficial owner. Beneficial owners of Premium 2009 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their particular circumstances. 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 2009 Bonds. The Commission has made certain representations and covenanted to comply with certain restrictions, conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest on the 2009 Bonds will not be included in federal gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the 2009 Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the 2009 Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes the accuracy of these representations and compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or any other matters coming to Bond Counsel's attention after the date of issuance of the 2009 Bonds may adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the 2009 Bonds. Accordingly, the opinion of Bond Counsel is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, events or matters. 75783979.5 31 57 Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the 2009 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the 2009 Bonds may otherwise affect a beneficial owner's federal, state or local tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of the beneficial owner or the beneficial owner's other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences. Future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court decisions may cause interest on the 2009 Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent beneficial owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such future legislative proposals, clarification of the Code or court decisions may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the 2009 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the 2009 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion. The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities, and represents Bond Counsel's judgment as to the proper treatment of the 2009 Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about the future activities of the Commission or about the effect of future changes in the Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS. The Commission has covenanted, however, to comply with the requirements of the Code. Bond Counsel's engagement with respect to the 2009 Bonds ends with the issuance of the 2009 Bonds, and, unless separately engaged, Bond Counsel is not obligated to defend the Commission or the beneficial owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the 2009 Bonds in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, parties other than the Commission and their appointed counsel, including the beneficial owners, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax-exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the Commission legitimately disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the 2009 Bonds for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the market price for, or the marketability of, the 2009 Bonds, and may cause the Commission or the beneficial owners to incur significant expense. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel, will render an opinion with respect to the validity of the 2009 Bonds. The proposed form of such approving opinion is attached hereto as APPENDIX E. Bond Counsel assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of this Official Statement. Compensation paid to Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel and Underwriters' Counsel is conditioned upon the successful issuance of the 2009 Bonds. Certain 75783979.5 32 • • • 58 " " legal matters will be passed upon for the Commission by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles, California, as Disclosure Counsel, and by Best Best & Krieger LLP, Riverside, California, the General Counsel for the Commission. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP, San Francisco, California. RATINGS It is expected that Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., will assign each Series of the 2009 Bonds the long-term municipal bond credit ratings of "_" and " ," respectively, and the short-term liquidity ratings of " ," " " and "_ " q ty g respectively. Such short-term liquidity ratings are based on the understanding that the Liquidity Facility will be delivered by the Liquidity Provider concurrently with the issuance of the 2009 Bonds. Each such rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Such ratings reflect only the views of such organizations and any desired explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained from the rating agency furnishing the same. The ratings described above do not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the 2009 Bonds. The Commission has furnished to the rating agencies certain information respecting the 2009 Bonds and the Commission. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on such information and materials and their own investigations, studies and assumptions. The ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies, and there is no assurance that the ratings will continue for any period of time or that they will not be lowered or withdrawn. The Commission and the Underwriters undertake no responsibility either to bring to the attention of the owners of the 2009 Bonds the downward revision or withdrawal of any rating obtained or to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. Any downward revision or withdrawal of the ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the 2009 Bonds or the ability to remarket the 2009 Bonds. REMARKETING AGENTS Barclays Capital Inc. has been appointed to serve as Remarketing Agent for the 2009 Series A Bonds. E.J. De La Rosa & Co. Inc. has been appointed to serve as Remarketing Agent for the 2009 Series B Bonds. Backstrom McCarly Berry & Co., LLC has been appointed to serve as Remarketing Agent for the 2009 Series C Bonds.

Such information was provided by the County except as otherwise indicated. Population According to the State Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit, the County's population was estimated at 2,107,653 as of January 1, 2009, reflecting a 0.1% increase over January 1, 2008. The largest cities in the County are the cities of Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona, Murrieta, Temecula, Hemet, Indio and Cathedral City. The areas of most rapid population growth continue to he those more populated and industrialized cities in the western and central regions of the County and the southwestern unincorporated region of the County between Sun City and Temecula.

Effective Buying Income "Effective Buying Income" is defined as personal income less personal tax and nontax payments, a number often referred to as "disposable" or "after-tax" income. Personal income is the aggregate of wages and salaries, other than labor -related income (such as employer contributions to private pension funds), proprietor's income, rental income (which includes imputed rental income of owner -occupants of non -farm dwellings), dividends paid by corporations, interest income from all sources and transfer payments (such as pensions and welfare assistance). Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state and local, nontax 75783979.5 B-2 • 64 " payments fines, fees, penalties, etc.) and personal contributions to social security insurance and federal retirement payroll deductions. According to U.S. government definitions, the resultant figure is commonly known as "disposable personal income." The following table summarizes the total effective buying income for the County and the State for the period 2004 through 2008.

The Commission, the Trustee and the Underwriters cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants or Indirect Participants or others will distribute any (a) payments of principal or purchase price or interest with respect to the $ principal amount of Riverside County Transportation Commission Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (Limited Tax Bonds), 2009 Series B (the "2009 Series B Bonds") and the $ principal amount of Riverside County Transportation Commission Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (Limited Tax Bonds), 2009 Series C (the "2009 Series C Bonds" and, together with the Series A Bonds and the Series B Bonds, the "2009 Bonds"), (b) certificates representing ownership interest in or other confirmation or ownership interest in the 2009 Bonds, or (c) redemption, tender or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its nominee, as the registered owner of the 2009 Bonds, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or that DTC, DTC Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will act in the manner described in this Appendix D. The current "Rules" applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the current "Procedures"'of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. The Commission, the Trustee and the Underwriters are not responsible or liable for the failure of DTC or any DTC Participant to make any payment or give any notice to a beneficial owner with respect to the 2009 Bonds or an error or delay relating thereto. DTC will act as securities depository for the 2009 Bonds. The 2009 Bonds will be issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully - registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the 2009 Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC is a limited -purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book -entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly -owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, 75783979.5 D-1 76 National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. The information set forth on such websites is not incorporated by reference. Purchases of 2009 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the 2009 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each 2009 Bond (`Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the 2009 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the 2009 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the 2009 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all 2009 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the 2009 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the 2009 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such 2009 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the 2009 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the 2009 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the 2009 Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of the 2009 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the 2009 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. 75783979.5 D-2 • • 77 " " Redemption and tender notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the 2009 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the 2009 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Commission as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the 2009 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Payments of principal or purchase price of and interest on the 2009 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Commission or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the Commission, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest evidenced by the 2009 Bonds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Commission or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the 2009 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Commission or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Commission may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry -only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository).

A) Improvements/Downgrades of Commission Bond Rating.

For example, if Fitch assigns an "AA" rating, Moody's assigns an "Aa2" rating and S&P assigns an "AA+" rating, the Commitment Fee will be determined in accordance with level II. If the Commission Bond Ratings assigned by each of the Rating Agencies is at a different level, the Commitment Fee will be based on the rating assigned to the level in the middle of the three rating levels. For example, if Fitch assigns an "AA" rating, Moody's assigns an "Aa3" rating and S&P assigns an "AA+" rating, the Commitment Fee will be determined in accordance with level II. However, if Fitch assigns an "AA-" rating, Moody's assigns an "A2" rating and S&P assigns an "AA" rating, the Commitment Fee will be determined in accordance with level III.
